In a nutshell: Hospital based cluster RCT was undertaken to evaluate the efficacy of a policy to introduce low-low beds for the prevention of falls and fall injuries on wards that had not previously accessed low-low beds. Findings indicate that policy for the introduction of low-low beds does not appear to reduce falls or falls with injury, although larger studies would be required to determine their effect on fall-related fractures.
