Abstract: [Abstract］ Objective To investigate the occurrence and characteristics of falls in hospitalized patients. Methods A retrospective analysis was performed about the incidence and characteristics of hospitalized falls in hospitals from January to June 2017. Results A total of 141 falls occurred in 127 patients， two of which resulted in a fracture. The average age of patients who fell was 63.9 years （range 0 to 91）. Most falls occur at the bedside （68.2%）. About half of the falls were related to activities （46.6%）， and the most common time to find falls was 2：00?3：59 and （38/201， 18.9%） and 6：00?7：59 （28/201， 13.9%）， which followed by the morning when the patient was active. The fall rate in our hospital was 1.37 falls per 1，000 patient ?days. The Internal Medical in hospital departments had the highest fall rate （3.08 times/1000 patient?days）， followed by the Emergency Dept. and Pediatrics Dept. （2.98 times/1000 patient?days and 2.56 times/1000 patient?days）. Conclusion This study demonstrates the characteristics of falls in hospitals in general hospitals and suggests that increased care or publicity for some time periods may help reduce the incidence of falls in hospitalized patients.
