Erratum to: Effectiveness of a home-based cognitive behavioral program to manage concerns about falls in community-dwelling, frail older people: results of a randomized controlled trial

Erratum

Unfortunately, the original version of this article [1] contains an error within Table 5 of the results section. Within the column “Intervention group” the number of “Indoor falls” was incorrectly written as 2, but should in fact be 202. The correct version of Table 5 can be found below.

Table 5.

Effects of the Home-Based Cognitive Behavioral Program on Fall Outcomes

	Control group		Intervention group		Modela	P- value
	n = 180		n = 166
	n	(%)	n	(%)	OR (95 % CI)	P
Fallers
Baseline until 12-month follow-up	106	(58.9)	94	(56.6)	0.79 (0.50-1.23)	.292
Recurrent fallers
Baseline until 12-month follow-up	67	(37.2)	55	(33.1)	0.67 (0.41-1.09)	.104
	Numberb		Numberb		IRR (95 % CI)	P
Total falls	429		362		0.86 (0.65-1.13)	.273
Indoor falls	291		202		0.68 (0.50-0.92)	.014
Outdoor	138		160		1.11 (0.78-1.56)	.568
No. of times medical attention required as a result of falls	87		106		1.42 (0.96-2.10)	.083

Results of mixed-effects logistic and negative binomial regression analyses

95 % CI = 95 % confidence interval; OR = odds ratio mixed-effects logistics regression; IRR = incidence rate ratio obtained via negative binomial regression

^aModel adjusted for baseline score measurement and level of concerns about falls, age, gender, perceived general health, and falls in the past 6 months

^bAnalyses were performed with a Poisson distribution. This distribution of fall events accounts for over dispersion and incorporates both number of falls and time (weeks) of follow-up; herefore, all available data was used
