To analyze the clinical features of falls in hospitalized patients\nwith chronic kidney disease (CKD), and to provide basis for preventing the\noccurrence of falls in hospitalized patients with CKD. Method: A retrospective\nstudy was conducted to analyze the 27 adverse events of falls in hospitalized\npatients from the department of nephrology in Peking University\nShenzhen Hospital during May 2009 and May 2019. Results: Among the 27\npatients with falls, people over 65 years old accounted for 55.56%; 74.07% of\nthe patients had caregivers; the peak period of falls was from June to August,\naccounting for 40.74%, mainly occurring from 7:00 to 8:00, 12:00 to 13:30 and\n19:00 to 21:00; the locations of falls were mostly near the bed and in the\nbathroom, accounting for 33.33% and 22.22%, respectively; suffering from\nanemia, hypoproteinemia, abnormal serum potassium, calcium-phosphorus\nmetabolism disorders accompanied by abnormal parathyroid hormone and\nhypertension accounted for 88.89%, 85.19%, 29.63%, 96.30% and 81.48% respectively.\nThe inpatients on dialysis therapy accounted for 66.67%. Conclusion:\nThe occurrence of falls in hospitalized patients with CKD was not only\nrelated to age, caregivers, time, months, locations or other conventional factors,\nbut also the complications and dialysis therapies. To effectively reduce\nthe occurrence of falls, itâ??s necessary to enhance the sense of safety and responsibility\nof caregivers. Besides, nurses should strengthen the inspection of\nwards for inpatients engaging in some intensive activities, and nurses should\nalso pay more attention to the inpatients with anemia, hypoproteinemia, calcium-\nphosphorus metabolism disorders and those on dialysis therapies.
