Data were linked to the Hospital Morbidity Data Collection and WA Hospital Mortality System to identify participants who experienced falls-related hospitalisations between 1990 and 2019. A generalised linear negative binomial regression model examined the association between falls requiring hospitalisation for those with and without field loss, based on the better eye mean deviation (mild: \u22122 to \u20136\u00a0dB, moderate: \u22126.01\u00a0dB to \u201312\u00a0dB, severe &amp;lt; \u221212.01\u00a0dB) in the most contemporaneous visual field test (3\u00a0years prior or if not available, 2\u00a0years after the fall), after adjusting for potential confounders.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>A total of 31 021 unique individuals of whom 6054 (19.5%) experienced 11 818 falls requiring hospitalisation during a median observation time of 14.1\u00a0years. Only mean deviation index of &amp;lt;\u221212.01\u00a0dB (severe) was significantly associated with an increased rate of falls requiring hospitalisations by 14% (adjusted IRR 1.14, 95% CI 1.0\u20131.25) compared with no field loss, after adjusting for potential confounders. Other factors included age, with those aged 80+ having an increased rate (IRR 29.16, 95% CI 21.39\u201339.84), other comorbid conditions (IRR 1.49, 95% CI 1.38\u20131.60) and diabetes (IRR 1.25, 95% CI 1.14\u20131.37). Previous cataract surgery was associated with a decreased rate of falls that required hospitalisations by 13% (IRR 0.87, 95% CI 0.81\u20130.95) compared with those who did not have cataract
