Mild cognitive impairment as a predictor of falls in community-dwelling older people
Delbaere K, Kochan NA, Close JC, Menant JC, Sturnieks DL, Brodaty H, Sachdev PS, Lord SR.. The American journal of geriatric psychiatry : official journal of the American Association for Geriatric Psychiatry, 2012-10-01
Topic: Risk, prevention and care in population studies
Of the participants, 342 (81.6%) had normal cognitive functioning, 58 (13.8%) had nonamnestic MCI, and 19 (4.5%) had amnestic MCI. People with MCI performed worse than people without MCI in measures of general health and balance. Logistic regression analyses showed that fall risk was significantly greater in people with MCI (odds ratio [OR]: 1.72, 95% confidence interval [95% CI]: 1.03-2.89). This association was mainly apparent when the analysis was restricted to those with nonamnestic MCI (OR: 1.98, 95% CI: 1.11-3.53), where the relationship was primarily explained by impaired executive functioning (OR: 1.27, 95% CI: 1.02-1.59). The findings indicate that objectively defined MCI is an independent risk factor for injurious or multiple falls in a representative sample of community-dwelling older people. The presence of nonamnestic MCI, based primarily on executive function, was found to be an important factor in increasing fall risk.

Key findings
- Of the participants, 342 (81.6%) had normal cognitive functioning, 58 (13.8%) had nonamnestic MCI, and 19 (4.5%) had amnestic MCI.
- People with MCI performed worse than people without MCI in measures of general health and balance.
- Logistic regression analyses showed that fall risk was significantly greater in people with MCI (odds ratio [OR]: 1.72, 95% confidence interval [95% CI]: 1.03-2.89).
- This association was mainly apparent when the analysis was restricted to those with nonamnestic MCI (OR: 1.98, 95% CI: 1.11-3.53), where the relationship was primarily explained by impaired executive functioning (OR: 1.27, 95% CI: 1.02-1.59).

How this study scored 64/100
Published in a peer-reviewed journal, and it is a cohort study following people over time. Scored zero for randomized / blinded because the record does not state it. We have no data on journal's citation record, times cited, citations per year, impact for its field and year, cited by studies here, still being cited, senior author's track record, institution's track record and multicenter collaboration, so those were left out: it earned 37 of the 58 points we could judge it on, which is 64 out of 100.
