| Summary, etc. | Aim of the studyFalls are a cause of severe morbidity and mortality in people aged over 65 in all countries. Cognitive frailty is considered to be one of the risk factors for falls in older adults. Approximately 60% of older adults with neurocognitive disorders fall annually, which is twice as often as older adults with no cognitive impairment. We already know that neurocognitive disorders and their severity are a risk factor for falls in older people. Few studies have been conducted to investigate the association between the severity of neurocognitive disorders and the severity of falls. The aim of this study is therefore to investigate the association between the severity of neurocognitive disorders and the seriousness of falls in older adults.Patients and methodsThis is a non-interventional retrospective study of 100 patients admitted for falls to a geriatric hospital.ResultsThe correlation between the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) and fall severity remains uncertain. Serious falls are more frequent in patients with Parkinsonian syndromes, but this result is not statistically significant. Polydrug use is very prevalent among the studied population, with 70% of patients taking more than four drugs.ConclusionWe did not find a statistically significant association between the severity of neurocognitive disorders evaluated using MMSE and the seriousness of falls. More studies with tailored neurocognitive testing are needed to investigate the link between executive function disorders and the seriousness of falls. |
