France952 participantsStarted 2019-10-01

Plain-language summary

In this project, the investigators are interested in a particular population, that of elderly subjects who used the SAMU after a fall and who are not hospitalized or are hospitalized less than 24 hours. The scientific literature concerning this population is poor . However, this is a particularly vulnerable population. The Direction of research, studies, evaluation and statistics (DREES) report notes that in 2005 in metropolitan France, 24% of people aged 65 to 75 said they had fallen in the last 12 months. Home falls among seniors may require emergency medical services (EMS).
