研究 の 目的:
- 入院高齢者の特定の薬と再発性転倒との関連を調査する.
- 高齢者集団における潜在的薬物関連リスク要因を特定する.
主な方法:
- 転倒した70歳以上の入院患者463人を対象とした遡及研究 (2020~2021年).
- 転倒を繰り返す患者と 転倒を繰り返す患者との比較
- スタチン,インスリン,ポリファーマシーを含む主要な予測要因を,単変数および多変数解析を用いて分析した.
主要な成果:
- 患者さんの19%で再発的な転倒が起こりました.
- アトルバスタチン治療は独立して再発性転倒の確率増加と関連していた (OR1. 68,95%CI1. 01-2. 81).
- インスリン治療はまた,再発性転倒の確率の増加と独立して関連していました (OR2. 46,95%CI1. 23 - 4. 95).
結論:
- アトルバスタチンとインスリンと,高齢の入院患者における再発性転倒との間には,独立した関連性がある.

Hyperlipidemia, a medical condition often referred to as high cholesterol, is characterized by abnormally elevated levels of lipids in the bloodstream. When present in excess, these lipids, specifically cholesterol and triglycerides, can lead to serious health complications, often involving cardiovascular diseases. Illnesses like atherosclerosis, heart attacks, and pancreatitis have all been linked to untreated hyperlipidemia. This means controlling and regulating cholesterol and triglyceride...
