Fall risk calculator could save lives by predicting who needs urgent care
NCT ID NCT07643051
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
Researchers looked at records from over 58,000 adults who had fall injuries to build a simple scoring system that estimates the chance of dying within 30 days. The tool uses age, sex, and vital signs taken in the emergency room. This study did not test any treatment—it only aimed to improve how doctors identify high-risk patients.
