| Abstract |
To analyze the trend of fall-related morbidity and mortality in older adults in Brazil from 1996 to 2012. This is an ecological study of fall-related admission and mortality rate trends in older adults by gender, Brazilian regions, and Brazilian state capitals using data from the Hospital Information System of the Unified Healthcare System (SIH-SUS) and from the National Mortality Information System (SIM). Trend analyses were based on polynomial regression models. Mortality rates increased in all regions and state capitals, and admission trends varied in regions and state capitals. The admission rates in 1996 and 2012 were 2.58 and 41.37 per 10,000 older adults, respectively, and the mortality rates per 10,000 older adults increased from 1.25 in 1996 to 3.75 in 2012. Males mortality rates were higher during the entire period. Fall-related mortality and admission rates increased in Brazil but varied by gender and state of residence. The results of this study do not only monitor the problem over time but may also help plan technological and human resources to prevent and control falls. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 6. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 15 May 2018.
All research outputs
#6,600,606
of 25,382,440 outputs
Outputs from Ciência & Saúde Coletiva
#355
of 2,037 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#107,403
of 343,807 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Ciência & Saúde Coletiva
#6
of 33 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,382,440 research outputs across all sources so far. This one has received more attention than most of these and is in the 73rd percentile.
So far Altmetric has tracked 2,037 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 3.8. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 71% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 343,807 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 68% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 33 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 48th percentile – i.e., 48% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
