Descrição detalhada
Falls are the leading cause of fatal and non-fatal injury among older adults. EDs frequently evaluate older adults after their falls, but the typical evaluation consists of an injury assessment alone. There is a critical need for an ED-based intervention that addresses reasons for the fall and provides on-the-spot assessment and guidance to prevent subsequent falls. Failure to prevent subsequent falls will result in increased morbidity, mortality, healthcare utilization, loss of independence, and rising health care costs as the population of older adults increases.
Participants in GAPcare will be older adults (≥65 years-old) who present to the ED for a fall. We will pursue the following specific aims to test and further refine the GAPcare intervention: (1) Examine the feasibility of recruitment and retention of eligible patients into the GAPcare intervention, (2) determine the initial efficacy of the GAPcare intervention in reducing subsequent falls and healthcare utilization at 6 months. Our long-term goal is to prevent the early morbidity and mortality of older adults who present to the ED after a fall. The overall objective of this survey is to gather preliminary data on the feasibility of an ED based fall prevention project.

Intervenção / Tratamento |
|---|---|
|
Sem intervenção: Usual care
The ED clinician will perform a standard medical evaluation.
This evaluation includes a focused history and exam to identify injuries.
Laboratory tests and radiologic imaging may be ordered.
If necessary, the patient will receive consultation with specialty services (e.g., orthopedics).
The research assistant (RA) will read the CDC STEADI brochure to the patient and provide them with a printed copy at the conclusion of their visit.
The RA will solicit feedback from the clinician and the patient at the conclusion of the visit using the post-visit survey.

Experimental: Intervention
|
Subjects will receive PT and pharmacist evaluation.
PT will help determine whether subject may benefit from doing exercises to improve strength or balance.
PT may also supply subject with an assist device.
A pharmacist will ask patient about any medication they are taking and will make recommendations on how their medication could be changed to prevent falls.
Pharmacists will communicate this information to subject's doctors.
Subjects will receive a fall calendar for home, where they will record any falls they have after their discharge from the ED.
They will receive a phone call at home asking about any recent falls and health care interactions.
Study personnel will call subjects every 2 weeks for 6 months.
Subjects may receive a referral for outpatient or home-based physical and occupational therapy at the end of the visit.

Feasibility of Implementing Intervention in Emergency Department
Prazo: 12 Months
|
Assess the feasibility of implementing this intervention in an ED setting.
We will report enrollment, reasons for accepting or declining enrollment, and drop-out from the study using the CONSORT approach.
We will compare the demographic characteristics of the GAPcare participants in both arms using Chi-square or Fisher's exact test for categorical variables and Student's t-test or Wilcoxon's test for continuous variables, as appropriate.
We will use Wilcoxon's test to compare the median ED length of stay between participants of both study arms.

Initial efficacy
Prazo: 12 Months
|
Determine if the GAPcare intervention versus usual care reduces subsequent falls and all-cause and fall-related ED visits and hospital admissions in the six-month follow-up.
We will compare the proportion and number of falls, ED visits, and hospital admissions in each group using chi-square (proportions) and Wilcoxon's and Student's t-tests (occurrence).
If sample size permits, we will conduct survival analysis to do a time-to-event analysis.
Survival time will be defined as the time from randomization to the time of the first recurrent fall, next ED visit, and hospital admission.
First, we will use the Kaplan-Meier method to estimate the cumulative probability of fall-free and visit-free survival time.
Next, we will use the log-rank test to test differences between survival curves for the intervention vs. usual care arm.
Finally, hazard ratios and 95% confidence intervals will be calculated using the Cox Proportional Hazards model.

Feedback
Prazo: 21-24 Months
|
We will gather feedback from clinicians and patients on the utility and barriers of the GAPcare intervention versus usual care.
We will assess 1) patient satisfaction with the care delivered, 2) barriers and facilitators of the intervention, 3) suggestions for improvement, and 4) specific feedback from clinicians on the suitability of the intervention to an ED setting.
Researchers will review and code each transcript independently.
A consensus process will follow, in which the researchers will categorize data into common themes within each of the 4 domains.
