Data on 1,071 in-hospital falls at a large hospital in South Brazil from 2012 - 2017

This dataset contains information on 1,071 in-hopsital falls that occurred between 2012 and 2017 at Hospital Moinhos de Vento, a 497-bed institution located in the city of Porto Alegre, Brazil.<br>The reporting of falls in hospital settings is recognized as a prevention strategy for informing corrective actions with the aim of preventing future such events. To this end, this dataset contains a broad array of variables relating to each fall incident (note that not all years include each variable): * Date of incident* Birth decade of patient* Age range of patient* Sex of patient* Weekday of incident* Shift during which the incident ocurred* Hospital department or location of incident * Location or environment in which the incident ocurred* Severity of incident* Presence of companion at time of incident* Fall risk level as measured by the Johns Hopkins Fall Risk Assessment Tool* Involvement of medication associated with fall risk* Whether a fall prevention protocol was implemented* Type of injury incurred, if any* Reason for incident* Whether a restraint prescription was given * Whether a physical therapy prescription was given<br>The data are presented as a single Excel XLSX file: <b>hospital-fall-data-2012-2017.xlsx</b>, separated into sheets according to year of data capture for the years 2012 - 2017.<br>Learning about the characteristics of these events and establishing a profile may contribute to the design of adequate prevention and improvement strategies that effectively reduce the risk of falls.<br>The project from which these data were extracted was approved by the institution’s research ethics committee (CAAE: 57679316.9.0000.5330 - approval 1.833.572).

本数据集收录了2012至2017年间，位于巴西阿雷格里港市的莫尼奥斯德文托医院（Hospital Moinhos de Vento，拥有497张床位）发生的1071起院内跌倒事件相关信息。
医院跌倒事件上报被视为一种预防策略，可为制定整改措施以防范后续同类事件提供决策依据。为此，本数据集涵盖了与每起跌倒事件相关的多维度变量（注：并非所有年份均包含全部变量）：
- 事件发生日期
- 患者出生年代
- 患者年龄区间
- 患者性别
- 事件发生当日为星期几
- 事件发生时的工作班次
- 事件发生所在的医院科室或地点
- 事件发生的场所或环境
- 事件严重程度
- 事件发生时是否有陪护人员在场
- 采用约翰·霍普金斯跌倒风险评估工具（Johns Hopkins Fall Risk Assessment Tool）测得的跌倒风险等级
- 是否使用与跌倒风险相关的药物
- 是否落实跌倒预防方案
- 若发生受伤，所受损伤的类型
- 事件发生原因
- 是否开具约束医嘱
- 是否开具物理治疗医嘱

本数据以单个Excel XLSX文件**hospital-fall-data-2012-2017.xlsx**呈现，按2012至2017年的数据采集年份分为多个工作表。

探究此类事件的特征并构建事件画像，有助于设计针对性的预防与改进策略，从而有效降低跌倒事件的发生风险。
