  1. Table 4 presents the univariate analyses of each of the three groups of covariates that correlated with falls in the univariate logistic regression. In demographic data and complications, orthopedic diseases, cerebrovascular diseases, orthostatic hypotension, paralysis, cognitive dysfunction, and hypnotic prescription were correlated with accidental falls. In the group of ADL, the use of wheelchairs and walking aids outside of the facility was correlated with accidental falls. In the univariate analysis, wheelchair use was negatively correlated with falls (EXP(B) 0.24). In the group of laboratory data, creatinine level (mg/dL), albumin level (g/dL), and systolic pressure (mmHg) were correlated with falls. Serum creatinine and albumin levels were negatively correlated with falls
