BackgroundAging and an increased fall risk have been demonstrated in hemodialysis patients at home and in a facility. However, studies investigating the cause of falls to prevent fractures in dialysis rooms are scarce. This study aimed to explore the related factors for accidental falls statistically in dialysis facilities for future fall prevention.MethodsThis study included 629 hemodialysis patients with end-stage renal disease. The patients were divided into two groups: the fall and non-fall groups. The main outcome was the presence or absence of falls in the dialysis room. Univariate and multivariate logistic analyses were performed; multivariate analysis was conducted using covariates significantly correlated in the univariate analysis.ResultsA total of 133 patients experienced falling accidents during the study period. The multivariate analysis indicated that the use of walking aid (p< 0.001), orthopedic diseases (p< 0.05), cerebrovascular disease, and age were significantly correlated with falls.ConclusionsIn the dialysis clinic, patients who use walking aids and have complicated orthopedic or cerebrovascular conditions are at a high risk of falling in the dialysis room. Therefore, establishing a safe environment may help prevent falls, not only for these patients but also among other patients with similar conditions.
