Home fall‐hazard reduction vs control (e.g. usual activities)

Falls · older people living in the community (included trials conducting pre‐ and/or post‐hospital discharge home visits focusing on fall…

Home fall‐hazard reduction probably leads to lower rate of falls (falls per person‐years) compared with control (e.g. usual care) (moderate certainty).
