Rehabilitation services can assist individuals to improve mobility and function after sustaining a fall-related injury. However, the true effect of fall-related injury resulting in hospitalisation is often underestimated because of failure to consider sub-acute and non-acute care provided following the acute hospitalisation episode.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Aim<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This study aims to describe the sub-acute and non-acute health service use of individuals hospitalised in New South Wales (NSW), Australia for a fall-related injury during 2000\u201301 to 2008\u201309, to examine the burden of fall-related inpatient rehabilitation hospital admissions from 1998\u201399 to 2010\u201311 and to estimate future demand for fall-related inpatient rehabilitation admissions in NSW to 2020.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Method<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Retrospective review of sub-acute and non-acute records linked to hospital admission records during 2001\u201302 to 2008\u201309 in NSW. Analysis of temporal trends from 1998\u201399 to 2010\u201311 and projections to 2020 for rehabilitation-related (ICD-10-AM: Z47, Z48, Z50, Z75.1) inpatient hospital admissions.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>There were 4317 individuals with a fall-related injury admitted to hospital and subsequently admitted for sub-acute and non-acute care; 84% of these were aged 65+ years; 70.4% were female and 27.2% had femur fractures. For the rehabilitation-related admissions, total mean functional independence measure (FIM) scores improved significantly (from 78.4 to 94.6; P &amp;lt; 0.0001) between admission and discharge. Fall-related inpatient rehabilitation episodes increased by 9.1% each year between 1998 and 2011 for individuals aged 65 years and older and are projected to rise to 50 000 admissions annually by 2020.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This is the first study to provide an epidemiological profile of individuals using sub-acute and non-acute care in NSW using linked data. Improvements in data validity and reliability would enhance the quality of the sub-acute and non-acute care data and its ability to be used to inform resource use in this sector. The examination of temporal trends using only the inpatient hospital admissions provides a guide for resource implications for inpatient rehabilitation services.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>What is known about this topic?<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Fall-related injuries that result in inpatient hospital admissions are increasing in Australia.
