description ObjectiveThe aim of this study is to develop and validate a prediction model for fall risk factors in hospitalized older adults with osteoporosis.MethodsA total of 615 older adults with osteoporosis hospitalized at a tertiary (grade 3A) hospital in Nantong City, Jiangsu Province, China, between September 2022 and August 2023 were selected for the study using convenience sampling. Fall risk factors were identified using univariate and logistic regression analyses, and a predictive risk model was constructed and visualized through a nomogram. Model performance was evaluated using the area under the receiver operator characteristic curve (AUC), Hosmer-Lemeshow goodness-of-fit test, and clinical decision curve analysis, assessing the discrimination ability, calibration, and clinical utility of the model.ResultsBased on logistic regression analysis, we identified several significant fall risk factors for older adults with osteoporosis: gender of the study participant, bone mineral density, serum calcium levels, history of falls, fear of falling, use of walking aids, and impaired balance. The AUC was 0.798 (95% CI: 0.763–0.830), with a sensitivity of 80.6%, a specificity of 67.9%, a maximum Youden index of 0.485, and a critical threshold of 121.97 points. The Hosmer-Lemeshow test yielded a χ2 value of 8.147 and p = 0.419, indicating good model calibration. Internal validation showed a C-index of 0.799 (95% CI: 0.768–0.801), indicating the model’s high discrimination ability. Calibration curves showed good agreement between predicted and observed values, confirming good calibration. The clinical decision curve analysis further supported the model’s clinical utility.ConclusionThe prediction model constructed and verified in this study was to predict fall risk for hospitalized older adults with osteoporosis, providing a valuable tool for clinicians to implement targeted interventions for patients with high fall risks.
