Abstract: Purpose: The study aimed to test the incidence of geriatric trauma is increasing and evaluate different scoring tools for the prediction of in-hospital mortality in geriatric trauma patients.Methods: Part 1: Annual reports released by the National Trauma Database (NTDB) in the United States from 2005 to 2015 and the Trauma Register DGU® in Germany from 1994 to 2012 were analyzed to test the incidence of geriatric trauma is increasing. Part 2: Secondary analysis of a single-center cohort study conducted among 3… Show more

“…Consequently, the population attributable fraction of medical comorbidities and trauma injuries associated with advanced aging can be expected to rise in parallel. Coupled with a more active lifestyle, the injuries, medications, and inherent comorbidities of this population have a demonstrated impact on the trauma system 2 …”

“…In a retrospective study of trauma patients over 65 years of age, the relationship between ISS and RTS and mortality was statistically significant 20 . In another study evaluating the predictability of RTS and ISS in elderly trauma patients, the cut-off values were ≤6 and ≥13.5, respectively, at which the sensitivity values of RTS were higher than ISS and the specificity values were similar 21 23 . Similarly, Adıyaman et al showed the presence of a relationship between mortality and length of hospital stay.…”

“…Similar findings have been reported in other economically developed nations. [3][4][5][6] There is evidence that the emerging cohort are at greater risk of being under-triaged, 7,8 are less likely to receive care at a higher-level trauma facility, 9,10 are more likely to be treated by junior clinicians, more likely to have longer waits for CT scans, and are less likely to be transferred to a neurosciences unit. 11,12 A recent systematic review has demonstrated that higher-level trauma centres are associated with lower mortality than lower-level trauma centres in patients with major trauma (adjusted odds ratio, AOR, 0.77; 95% CI 0.69-0.87).…”
