Various risk factors for falls, STRATIFY score and FRAX™ score were evaluated in development and test datasets to determine whether they are associated with fracture after falls by using multiple logistic regression analysis (A) and multivariate Cox's regression analysis (B). Significant factors were selected by using the stepwise selection method. In Tables C and D, both STRATIFY score and FRAX™ score were forcibly entered into the logistic model (C) and Cox's regression model (D). CI, confident interval; LOS, length of hospital stay; OR, odds ratio; HR, hazards ratio.
