Effects of a Multifactorial Program with Case Management for Falls Prevention on Functional Outcomes in Community-Dwelling Older People: A Randomized Clinical Study.

Unlabelled: Falls are among the top 10 causes of years lived with disability in people aged 75 and over. Preventive programs like case management (CM) are crucial.

Objectives: To evaluate the effects of a multifactorial fall prevention program based on CM on physical performance, the presence of pain, and the risk of falls and fractures in older people who have suffered falls.

Fall accidents in older people: a time trend analysis of the period 2000-2020 and the estimated economic burden on the Brazilian health system in 2025.

Longitudinal monitoring of indicators of accidental falls can facilitate the planning of effective care and prevention actions. This article aims to analyze temporal trends in variables related to falls among older persons in Brazil and in the state of São Paulo during the period 2000-2020 and estimate the projected economic burden on the health system in 2025. We conducted a quantitative retrospective observational study using data from the Health Information System.

Treatment fidelity and satisfaction with an intervention based on case management for older people with falls history: Randomized clinical trial.

Purpose: To verify the treatment fidelity and satisfaction with a multifactorial intervention based on case management in community-dwelling older people with falls history and related sociodemographic and clinical factors.

Methods: This is a single-center, randomized, parallel-group controlled clinical trial. 62 community-dwelling older people with falls history were distributed into two groups.

A Case Management Program at Home to Reduce Fall Risk in Older Adults (the MAGIC Study): Protocol for a Single-Blind Randomized Controlled Trial.

Background: Individual case management programs may be particularly effective in reducing fall risk as they can better identify barriers and facilitators to health recommendations.

Objective: This paper describes the protocol for a single-blind, parallel-group randomized controlled trial that aims to investigate the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of a home-based multifactorial program targeting fall risk factors among people aged 60 years and over who have fallen at least twice in the past 12 months (the MAGIC trial).

Methods: Older people with a history of at least 2 falls in the last year will be divided into 2 groups.
