3 Background Lots of work already going on at various levels and through various organisations, e.g. NLIAH? Evaluated and effective?? Evidence based?? Coherent, joined-up? Much of what we currently do is reactive
4 Epidemiology of falls Summary of falls epidemiology, adapted from Rubenstein and Josephson (2002), Cummings and Melton (2002), Peel et al (2002)
5 Estimated population changes Based on population of each HB and population projections 60+ population estimates % change in total 60+ Wales % Betsi Cadwaladr % Powys % Hywel Dda % Abertawe Bro Morgannwg % Cwm Taf % Cardiff and Vale % Aneurin Bevan %
6 Predicting falls incidence Assumes Epidemiological data are generaliseable to Wales All older people are community dwelling Therefore data are under-estimates No interventions are in place that reduce incidence Over-estimate / evidence of effectiveness
7 Wales Epidemiology ? 100 community dwelling older people 765,200 people aged over ,100 people aged over to 60 suffer a fall each year 230,000 to 460,000 suffer a fall each year 247,200 to 494,5000 suffer a fall each year 15 to 30 fall more than once 115,000 to 230,000 fall more than once 123,600 to 247,200 fall more than once 2 to 6 suffer fracture, head injury, serious laceration 11,500 to 45,900 suffer fracture, head injury, serious laceration 12,400 to 49,400 suffer fracture, head injury, serious laceration

22 Epidemiology limitations IP data based on external cause codes 10% of injury discharges lack an external cause code Avoid paralysis by analysis
23 Evidence - basis Community strategies NICE, ProFaNE, AGS / BGS guidance Vast amount of information available Not possible to review evidence independently Structure loosely based on NICE
24 Evidence...
25 Evidence 2 Fraser and Dunstan, BMJ, Dec k journals, increases 3.5% pa 1.5M articles published in 2009 Echocardiography 5 papers per hour, 8 hours per day, 5 days per week 11 years, 124 days By the end years, 295 days, 408,049 papers
26 Evidence falls Fall textword Limit to 2000 to 2013 Returns 8531 articles 5 papers per hour, 8 hours per day, 5 days a week 200 articles per week Falls Prevention
27 Nature of interventions Individual multi-factorial Population based multi-factorial Population based single factor
28 Screening / risk assessment NICE (2004) Older people in contact with health care professionals should be asked routinely whether they have fallen in the past year and asked about the frequency, context and characteristics of the falls
29 Risk assessment (2) NICE guideline group supports older people being asked about falls risk on an annual basis. AGS / BGS - annual screening A lack of hard evidence to support this position Current approaches require people to suffer injurious falls first NSC has no position on falls
30 Falls pathway Need to be picked up Community dwelling older population Falls risk factors Absent Present Gait or balance problems Other falls risk factors Not fallen Fall No / unseen / minor untreated injury Minor injury Major injury No further action GP A and E In-patient Home Falls risk factors present Death Care home Key:- Grey boxes indicate areas where interventions have historically been delivered and where work is currently underway. These include work by NLIAH and WAST. Yellow boxes indicate where the evidence base has demonstrated that intervention is effective and available in addition to what is already being done.
31 Older people living in Wales Primary care Falls case identification process Low risk of falling Faller or at risk of falling Consider general population intervention Falls risk assessment No further action at this time Recall in 1 year?
32 Screening / risk assessment (4) Once identification process is resolved a series of algorithms are available to carry out multi-factorial risk assessment Supported by evidence base
33 Gait and balance assessment Assessmen t options Gait problems increase risk of falling by 2.0 to 2.2 times Balance problems increase risk of falling by 1.8 to 3.9 times Do you have any problems with walking or balance? Screening tests No Yes See screening test algorithm Consider general population intervention Gait and / or balance problem identified (consider foot / footwear problems) No gait and / or balance problem Reason for problem known Reason for problem not known Consider general population intervention Check management, make changes if needed Balance / Exercise training programme Referral to specialist for further assessment if necessary Referral to specialist for further assessment
34 Multi Factorial assessment No definitive agreement around components Combined NICE, ProFaNE, AGS / BGS Full assessment likely to take considerable time Suggests need for specialist role in primary care Appropriate referrals needed High risk referred for more comprehensive assessment, lower risk managed through primary care
35 Population level approaches Multi factorial Include information and education, home hazard reduction, exercise programmes, policy change 6% to 33% reduction in fall injuries Not clear what each component contributes Single factor Exercise Reduces falls by 22% (sig) Education No clear evidence of effectiveness
36 Multi v Single factor Effect on falls similar with both approaches Conclusion that single interventions most acceptable and more easily targeted What about tai chi?
37 Cost effectiveness Lack of evidence at global level Would take considerable time and effort to generate such information in Wales What about tai chi?
38 Effective interventions
39 Effective interventions
40 No effect interventions
41 Evidence - problems Difficulties with translating effect sizes seen in research projects into real world
42 Conclusions Burden of falls is significant and likely to increase Coherent, high quality approach Intervention needed at all levels of prevention Expectations of what is likely to be possible need to be managed Without high quality ED data, impact will never be measureable
43 Recommendations Stand up against falling down Population level understanding that falls can be prevented Stop never fallers from becoming ever fallers Population level exercise Take a proactive approach to risk assessment Primary care screening Take a one day sooner approach to fallers admitted to hospital Ensure that current practice is good practice
44 Next steps Identify and evaluate services already in place Recommendations do not need to all be implemented at once Develop an approach to implementation that is supportive and collaborative Population level programmes need to be put in place Including ED data quality
45 Final thoughts Don t let falls get you down... Have a word.. Empower the public and professionals Treat the faller, not just the injury We don t ignore angina... There is no quick fix Long, complicated, collaborative process
