Prevalence of alcohol and other drug use in patients presenting to hospital for fall-related injuries: a systematic review

Conclusions
AOD exposure was common in hospitalised fall-related injuries. However, research addressing prevalence across different types of falls and the use of drugs other than alcohol was limited. Future research should address these areas to improve our understanding of which populations should be targeted in AOD and injury prevention strategies .
