Multifactorial assessment and targeted intervention for preventing falls and injuries among older people in community and emergency care settings: systematic review and meta-analysis.
TL;DR: Modelling found no evidence of different effects between interventions in different locations, populations selected for high risk of falls or unselected, and multidisciplinary teams including a doctor, but interventions that actively provide treatments may be more effective than those that provide only knowledge and referral.
A randomized controlled trial of fall prevention strategies in old peoples' homes
TL;DR: The high drop-out rate reduced the power of this study to detect any effect of the interventions used, and further research is required to identify effective fall prevention strategies for elderly people in residential settings.
