BACKGROUND: @entity4053 is a major barrier to achieving optimal glycemic control and managing @entity6 successfully in @entity1 with @entity6 . Falls are the most significant consequences caused by @entity4053 episodes. Both @entity4053 and falls lead to substantial economic burden on the health care system in the United States. OBJECTIVE: To examine the association of @entity4053 with fall-related outcomes in elderly @entity1 with @entity6 ( @entity6 ).   METHODS: Records were obtained for @entity6 @entity1 (N   =   1,147,937) from January 1, 2008, to December 31, 2011. The nonhypoglycemia @entity1 were randomly matched 1:1 by age and gender to the @entity4053 @entity1 . Fall-related events (composite of fall-related outcomes) were defined using ICD-9-CM codes. Conditional logistic regression models were used to compare the fall-related events within 30 days, 90 days, 180 days, and 365 days between the 2 cohorts.   RESULTS: A total of 21,613 @entity4053 @entity1 were matched with 21,613 nonhypoglycemic @entity1 . @entity1 with @entity4053 had higher fall-related events within 30 days, 90 days, 180 days, and 365 days (P    less than    0.001 for all frequency differences). Conditional logistic regression analyses showed an elevated risk for fall-related events over 365 days (aOR   =   1.95, 95% CI   =   1.70-2.24). Subgroup analysis showed elevated risk for @entity1 aged less than    75 years and >=    75 years. Elevated risks were also seen for individual fall-related outcomes of @entity174 , @entity542 , long-term care placement, and hospital admissions. CONCLUSIONS: The risk of fall-related events over 365 days increased 2-fold among elderly @entity1 with @entity6 who experienced @entity4053 .
