GeriPal - A Geriatrics and Palliative Medicine Podcast · Reducing serious fall-related injuries: an interview with NEJM STRIDE Study author Tom Gill · 17 Sep 2020 podcast

So, in addition to preventing falls, should the next study on fall prevention also say, even if we can't prevent fall injuries, can we prevent the life space constriction? matched

that people have with falls? matched

Can we prevent the caregiver stress and the levels of depression patients have will fall? matched

So, you know, should we really actually be looking beyond falls itself, but looking more to the, you know, wide spectrum of suffering that really geriatricians and palliative medicine providers are expert at dealing with, even if we can't change the fall outcome. matched

Well, yeah, no, I mean I think um I like the way you've been thinking about this ad system and matched

patient individual levels because I think you're right. matched

The effect may well be different. matched

And I think one thing you were implying is that matched

It's basically the your group at Yale who've basically showed that there's unifying risk factors for falls, functional dependence, incontinence. matched

All the geriatric syndromes have similar risk factors. matched

So presumably, if you're trying to prevent falls, you're trying to do other things that are gonna be good in other ways. matched

So that these I I I I think you're right that this type of intervention is likely to be good regardless. matched

Yeah, but you know, I I do wonder though, of like at the same time we're trying to offer physical therapy and, you know, trying to reduce the number of medicines, we should also have the social worker involved and teach our patients how to use paratransit. matched

So um at the same time we're trying to prevent flows. matched

We're also making sure they can do all the things that are important to them, fall or not. matched

Thank you, Tom. matched

That was really and thanks for all this great work. matched

This was really amazing a ma amazing study. matched

And regrettably not Wrigley Field. matched
