To identify risk factors for falls in patients undergoing hemodialysis.
Conducted a 12-month prospective study among hemodialysis patients.
Assessed physical function, postural balance, and frailty.
Evaluated quality of life through standardized measures.
Findings indicate a higher incidence of falls among hemodialysis patients.
Falls were linked to impaired physical function and poor postural balance.
Frailty levels were correlated with fall risk and quality of life.
Abstract
Patients undergoing hemodialysis have a higher incidence of falls. Falls are associated with physical function, postural balance, frailty, and quality of life.
