<h3>Objective:</h3> We sought to investigate incidence and trends of falls Traumatic brain injury (TBI) in Alzheimer Disease (AD) cohort, impact on mortality using a large administrative database <h3>Background:</h3> Alzheimer’s disease is the most common cause dementia elderly, with significant health-care burden. AD patients are more likely fall experience traumatic than those without. However, there no recent population based epidemiological studies guide designing preventive strategies. <h3>Design/Methods:</h3> Hospitalizations or TBI age&gt;64 years were extracted from Nationwide Inpatient Sample (NIS) 2006–2011. A subset was identified provided e-codes. Appropriate weights attached approximate national estimates. <h3>Results:</h3> Total hospitalizations 2006–2011 62,949,73; out which, 15.5% had mean age = 83±7 63.8% females, compared 78±8 56.3% females otherwise. 1.4% vs. 0.9% non-AD (p&lt;0.0001). Fall 11.5% 6.7% (p&lt;0.0001), contributed 68% cases. increased 10.5% (2006) 12.1% (2011) also 7.7% 10.0% Overall in-hospital 4.7% 4.5% Mortality 6.9% In 7.5% 2.5% without TBI. <h3>Conclusions:</h3> There greater AD, which increasing yearly. Falls contribute majority AD. increase These findings necessitate investigation into their causes, healthcare, design <b>Disclosure:</b> Dr. Tahir has nothing disclose. Al Jarrah Khawaja Izzy
