An Exploration Of Falls-Risk After Stroke: A Mixed Methods Approach (2016)

An Exploration Of Falls-Risk After Stroke: A Mixed Methods Approach (2016)

Walsh, Mary Elizabeth

Abstract:

This thesis aimed to inform the assessment of post-stroke falls-risk in those discharged to the community. It comprised five inter-linked studies: Prospective cohort study: A total of 128 recently discharged stroke survivors from five Dublin hospitals were followed for 12 months. During this time 44% of participants fell, 25% repeatedly. Of the fallers, 40% sought healthcare attention after a fall and 10% experienced a fracture. Systematic review of falls prediction models in the year after stroke: Twelve studies were identified that aimed to predict falls in acute or community settings using multivariable models. None presented a validated model with acceptable performance. External validation study of risk prediction models for post-stroke recurrent community falls: Two risk prediction models identified from the review were potent...

Fall-related experiences of stroke survivors: a meta-ethnography. (2016)

Walsh, Mary Elizabeth; Galvin, Rose; Horgan, Frances

Abstract:

This is an Accepted Manuscript of an article published by Taylor & Francis in Disability and Rehabilitation on 23 Mar 2016, available online: <a href="http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.3109/09638288.2016.1160445">http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.3109/09638288.2016.1160445</a> 
PURPOSE: Health professionals view falls after stroke as common adverse events with both physical and psychological consequences. Stroke survivors' experiences are less well understood. The aim of this systematic review was to explore the perception of falls-risk within the stroke recovery experience from the perspective of people with stroke. METHODS: A systematic literature search was conducted. Papers that used qualitative methods to explore the experiences of individuals with stroke around falls, falls-risk and fear of falling we...

Modification of Potentially Inappropriate Prescribing Following Fall-Related Hospitalizations in Older Adults. (2019)

Walsh, Mary Elizabeth; Boland, Fiona; Moriarty, Frank; Fahey, Tom

Abstract:

This is a post-peer-review, pre-copyedit version of an article published in Drugs & Aging.The final authenticated version is available online at: http://dx.doi.org/ <a href="https://doi.org/10.1007/s40266-019-00646-z" target="_blank">10.1007/s40266-019-00646-z</a>
BACKGROUND: There is strong evidence that potentially inappropriate prescribing is associated with falls in older adults. Fall-related hospitalizations should trigger medication review. OBJECTIVES: The aim of this before-and-after cohort study was to explore patterns of relevant potentially inappropriate prescribing in older people with fall-related hospitalizations. METHODS: Data on older adults with hospitalizations for falls, fractures and syncope between 2012 and 2016 were collected from 44 general practices ...

Abstract:

This article has been accepted for publication in Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health following peer review. The definitive copyedited, typeset version Walsh ME, Horgan NF, Walsh CD, Galvin R. Systematic review of risk prediction models for falls after stroke. Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health. 2016;70(5):513-9.

BACKGROUND: Falls are a significant cause of morbidity after stroke. The aim of this review was to identify, critically appraise and summarise risk prediction models for the occurrence of falling after stroke. METHODS: A systematic literature search was conducted in December 2014 and repeated in June 2015. Studies that used multivariable analysis to build risk prediction models for falls early after stroke were included. 2 reviewers independe...
