Abstract: Objective To study the incidences of falls in patients with Parkinson's disease and analyze the related factors.Methods The clinic data of 100 Parkinson's patients were retrospectively analyzed to investigate the fall incidence and the related factors.Results The fall incidence was 46.0%during hospitalization in the patients with Parkinson's disease.The single factor analysis showed that the falls incidence were higher in male patients,dizziness from drug factors,a history of falls and non-presence of their families during hospitalization than those in the non-fall group(P<0.05).Logistic regression analysis showed that male patients,dizziness from drug factors,a history of falls and non-presence of their families during hospitalization were risk factors for Parkinson's patients during hospitalization.(all P<0.05). Conclusions The high risk factors for the falls in Parkinson's patients include male patients,dizziness from drug factors,a history of falls and non-presence of their families during hospitalization.Therefore,the assessment of the risk factors for falls should be done so as to carry out fall factors control and fall risks classification management for the purpose of reducing falls.
