Statistical Analysis
Statistical analysis was performed with the online medical statistics
application EasyMedStat (version 3.17;
www.easymedstat.com). The data
presented as mean with standard deviation, and categorical variables
were shown as percentages. A multivariate logistic regression was
performed to assess the relation between falls and ACB score, CCI and
age. Odds ratio was adjusted for different sets of confounders and are
reported with 95% confidence intervals. Data were checked for
multicollinearity with the Belsley-Kuh-Welsch technique.
Heteroskedasticity and normality of residuals were assessed respectively
by the White test and the Shapiro-Wilk test. A p-value < 0ยท05
was considered statistically significant.
