Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
main objective: determination of the point prevalence of fall risk in hospitalized patients (= 75 years) with anticoagulation - Before the patient is discharged, as soon as the patient is allowed to get up, the risk of falling is assessed with the help of the geriatric assessment. A physical examination with validated testing procedures is conducted and participants fill in questionnaires.	—

Secondary

Measure	Time frame
secondary objectives: determination of risk factors of falls fall prevention by increasing muscular strength through exercises (enquire the scope of use of the exercise programme) The patient will be contacted by telephone three months after the geriatric assessment and, if necessary, six and 12 months later. Questions are asked about the current health situation, current medications, events (falls, hospital admissions) and the extent of performing the physical training.	—
