This paper presents discourse discussing how the cost of fall statistic could potentially be misleading when applied to inpatient health or residential care settings and provides estimates of the cost of falls and cost of falls per person.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Method\u2002<\/jats:bold> Burden of disease was estimated using a decision tree approach. Data informing the decision tree were drawn from a retrospective audit of 545 falls in a residential care facility, a visual observation study of 46 residents from the same facility and a cohort study of 186 residents from nine different facilities in Australia. Acute care and transportation costs were extracted from the retrospective audit using incident reports and care note review. The distribution of falls per person and associations between falls, fractures and change in resident mobility were extracted from the cohort study. The association between resident mobility and the amount of time required to perform toileting, transfer and dressing activities was extracted from the visual observational study.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Results\u2002<\/jats:bold> The minimum \u2018cost per fall\u2019 was estimated to be $AUD 841 and the maximum was $AUD 1024. The \u2018cost of falls per person\u2019 estimate was $AUD 1887 (2008 base year).<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Conclusions\u2002<\/jats:bold> This cost per fall estimate was substantially lower than three previous internationally derived estimates possibly as a consequence of how fall data were collected and modelled in these studies. Cost of falls per person may be a preferable statistic for future use.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1365-2753.2011.01786.x","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2011,10,27]],"date-time":"2011-10-27T00:59:46Z","timestamp":1319677186000},"page":"153-161","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":23,"title":["Cost per fall: a potentially misleading indicator of burden of disease in health and residential care settings"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"19","author":[{"given":"Terry P.","family":"Haines","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jenny","family":"Nitz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Julia","family":"Grieve","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Anna","family":"Barker","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Kirsten","family":"Moore","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Keith","family":"Hill","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Betty","family":"Haralambous","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Andrew","family":"Robinson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2011,10,26]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_6_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/gerona\/glp041"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/ageing\/afl084"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/archinternmed.2010.444"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_5_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.healthpol.2005.07.016"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_6_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2165\/00002512-200623030-00007"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_7_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/geront\/48.2.213"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_8_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0002-9343(99)80133-8"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_9_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00019514-200110010-00003"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_10_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"118","DOI":"10.1080\/pri.20.2.118.122","article-title":"Incidence and costs of falls and fall injuries among elderly in institutional care","volume":"20","author":"Nurmi I.","year":"2002","journal-title":"Scandinavian Journal of Primary Health Care \u2013 Supplement"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_11_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/1743-8462-4-6"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_12_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.cger.2010.07.002"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_13_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/MLR.0b013e318190ccc0"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_14_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00198-009-1100-1"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_15_2","first-page":"46","article-title":"Unreported accidents to patients in hospital","volume":"90","author":"Sutton J.","year":"1994","journal-title":"Nursing Times"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_16_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/bmj.39031.507153.AE"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_17_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1532-5415.2007.01605.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_18_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00005110-199711000-00009"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_19_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1532-5415.2010.02856.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_20_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/1472-6963-8-254"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_21_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/1471-2318-10-8"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_22_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.apmr.2008.04.017"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_23_2","unstructured":"World Health OrganisationDefinition of a fall.
