Purpose To identify risk factors for falls among cancer survivors. Design Systematic integrative literature review. Methods We searched PubMed, Embase, CINAHL, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, and PEDro for studies investigating fall risk in cancer. Reports of randomized controlled trials, descriptive studies (quantitative and qualitative), and theoretical papers meeting predetermined criteria were included. Quality ratings of included studies were done and data were extracted and compiled by two independent reviewers. Findings Twenty nine articles met inclusion criteria. Literature quality was moderate (median quality score 1.67 out of 3 possible points. Heterogeneity of statistics and reporting methods precluded calculation of summary effect sizes, but physical function, cognitive function, balance/gait, and certain medication types appear to increase fall risk. Conclusions and Clinical Relevance Modifiable risk factors such as those identified in this review represent tangible intervention targets for rehabilitation professionals for decreasing the risk of falls among cancer survivors.

Objective: To assess birth outcomes and cost-savings of an incentive-based prenatal smoking cessation program targeting low-income women in Colorado.Design: Prospective observational cohort with nonequivalent population control groups. Sample:Program participants (n=2,231) linked to the birth certificate to ascertain birth outcomes compared to two reference populations from Pregnancy Risk Assessment Monitoring System (PRAMS) and Colorado live births based on the birth certificate.Measurements: Tobacco cessation metrics in the third trimester of pregnancy, neonatal low birth weight (<2,500 grams), preterm birth (birth at < 37 weeks gestation), neonatal intensive care
