Correlation between fall risk and Traditional Chinese Medicine constitution of inpatients (住院患者跌倒风险与中医体质的相关性)

Abstract

Objective To explore the relationship between fall risk and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) constitution of inpatients, and provide reference for reducing the occurrence of fall risk among inpatients. Methods The TCM constitution classification and determination scale was used to evaluate the physique types of patients with high risk falls in hospital, to investigate the risk of falls in hospital and the physical condition of TCM, and to analyze the correlation between fall risk and TCM physique by single factor and multiple stepwise regression. Results Spearman correlation analysis showed that the fall risk score was significantly negatively correlated with the score of peace quality (P<0. 05) and positively correlated with the other 8 biased physique types (P<0. 05). Peace quality was the factor to reduce the risk of fall, and Qi deficiency, Qi depression, Yin deficiency, Yang deficiency and blood stasis were the factors to increase the risk of fall. Conclusion Correcting biased physique and improving physical peace can help to reduce the risk of falling inpatients. (目的 探索住院患者跌倒风险与中医体质的关系, 为降低住院患者跌倒风险的发生提供参考依据。方法 采用《中医体质分类与判定量表》对医院高危跌倒患者的体质类型进行评价, 调查住院跌倒风险及中医体质情况, 采用单因素与多元逐步回归分析跌倒风险与中医体质的相关性。结果 Spearman相关性分析显示, 跌倒危险评分与平和质的得分呈显著负相关( P＜0. 05) , 与其余 8 种偏颇体质类型呈显著正相关( P＜0. 05); 平和质是降低跌倒风险的因素, 气虚质、气郁质、阴虚质、阳虚质、血瘀质是增加跌倒风险的因素。结论 纠正偏颇体质, 提升体质平和状态, 可有助于降低住院患者跌倒风险。)
