Abstract: Objective: To systematically analyze the research trend of hospitalized patients' falls in China, so as to provide evidence for future studies. Methods: Articles about falls published from 2004 to 2015 were retrieved from CBM,CNKI and Wanfang databases, and were analyzed systematically. Results: Altogether 827 articles published in 251 journals were retrieved. Authors were located in 28 provinces and most were in medical institutions. Most articles were clinical research, and about 17.7% were randomized controlled trials. The subjects were mainly old patients. Most research focused on analysis of reasons and prevention of falls, evaluation of scales, and the effect of multi-factorial tools for the quality control of falls prevention, etc. There was no standard clinical guideline for the management of hospitalized patients' falls at present. The references were mainly Chinese literatures (91.5%), and only 8.5% were in foreign languages. Only 5.9% of them were supported by research funds. Conclusion: The falls of inpatients have attracted wide concerns by clinical staff.Multi-center and high-quality RCT were needed. A more effective and feasible preventive intervention is needed, so as to provide more powerful evidence for falls prevention.
