Table 2 Impact of the intervention on the rate of falls
From: An opportunistic evaluation of a routine service improvement project to reduce falls in hospital
Average number of falls per 1000 bed days over study period | Initial rate of falls (Intercept) | Time (Pre-intervention slope) | Intervention (Shift) | Post intervention time (Post-intervention slope) | |||||
