Scoped audit evidence
These are source- and component-level audit summaries as of 3 October 2026. Access and comparison scope can differ by report; none certifies every result or the underlying raw data.
Stroke
98 stroke and 110 controls enrolled; 80 stroke and 90 controls analysed. Monthly prospective falls diaries, up to 13 months and mean 12 months in analysed sample. 109 stroke falls. Negative-binomial model selected using AIC retained age, cognition, BBS and TUG. BBS IRR .908 (.845–.976) and TUG IRR .955 (.914–.997), so faster TUG was associated with greater fall rate. Missing-data and influential-outlier exclusions are described.
Source locator: Methods Participants, Falls data, Statistics; Results; Table 3 B
Limitations: The table wording “12 months” is acceptable as mean observed follow-up, but can be clarified as “mean 12 months, monitored up to 13 months.” No causal effect of faster mobility was established.
