老年人跌倒相关药物管理的研究进展

老年人群跌倒发生率较高,跌倒是老年人发生伤残、失能和死亡的重要原因。开展跌倒风险评估和管理,对降低跌倒发生率、减少伤害严重程度具有重要意义。药物因素是跌倒风险评估的重要组成部分,药物干预则是预防跌倒管理中必不可少的环节,但跌倒的药物干预在处理决策和管理上尚无统一标准,受重视程度不足。近年来有学者针对老年人跌倒药物干预的必要性和可行性进行了相关研究,现就药物干预方式和手段进行综述,以期对药物干预的开展提供思路和借鉴。

Recent Advances in Pharmaceutical Management of Falls in Older People

In older people,the incidence of falls is high,which are an important cause of injury,disability and death. So assessing the risk of falls and managing falls are essential to reduce falls incidence and the severity of injuries. Pharmaceutical factors are a key component of risk assessment of falls. And pharmaceutical interventions are vital in the management of falls,but there are no uniform criteria for how to make decision to deliver and manage pharmaceutical interventions for falls,which may be due to inadequate importance attached to these aspects. Given that some scholars have carried out relevant research on the necessity and feasibility of delivering pharmaceutical interventions for falls,we reviewed the latest advances in pharmaceutical interventions for falls in older adults,aiming at providing useful ideas for furthering the development of pharmaceutical interventions.
