Evaluation of Risk Factors for Fall Incidence Based on Statistical Analysis
The topic of the manuscript is interesting. The statistical methods are chosen correctly.
I recommend a structured Abstract according to the model: Introduction. Aim/Objective. Methods. Results. Conclusions. I would add two key words.
The article lacks a detailed description of the research sample and demographic data. This is a cross-sectional study, authors undefined variables.
I propose dividing table No. 2 and table No. 3 from a formal point of view.
The ethical aspect was respected. I miss the detailed study design, description of contributing factors of falls in specific patients, etc.
The limitations of the study are described at the end of the discussion. The study was designed as a cross-sectional study focusing on patients who experienced falls over a 6-year period.
The conclusion evaluates the results of the study, I would add numerical results.
The last sentence is of a general nature: Falls are preventable medical incidents, and further research is needed to explore the characteristics, risk factors, and fall assessments. Suggest specific ways
The article uses old literary sources, for example: 2007, 2008, 1995.
Accept after recommended revisions.
