OBJECTIVES: Falls among hospitalized elderlies represent a frequent (20-30%) adverse event. About 30% of falls lead to injuries with different types of severity and can provoke long-time disability or death. The prevention of falls in the hospital is possible through the adoption of multimodal strategies. This study aimed at identifying the potential reduction in falls due to the Care Bundle implementation and its cost-effectiveness in real clinical environment

METHODS: RESULTS: A total of CONCLUSIONS: The preliminary analyses showed a positive effect of Care Bundle intervention for preventing falls among aged inpatients at relatively low cost for fall prevented. Deeper statistical analyses to estimate precise cost-effectiveness of the Care Bundle intervention will be conducted shortly.
