A Multicenter Cohort Study of Falls Among Patients Admitted to the ICU*

CONCLUSIONS: We observed that among ICU patients, falls occur frequently, vary substantially between ICUs, and are associated with modifiable risk factors, longer ICU and hospital stays, and lower risk of death. Our study suggests that fall prevention strategies should be considered for critically ill patients admitted to ICU.
