The differential associations of preexisting conditions with trauma-related outcomes in the presence of competing risks
2016, InjuryCitation Excerpt :Finally, owing to our overall low in-hospital mortality rate, a type II statistical error may have occurred. This underscores the need to assess discharge to a care facility as a competing event, which may have offset the high mortality incidence witnessed in the past [8,9]. Future research should involve multiple trauma centres to insure a sufficiently large sample size for a more valued assessment on in-hospital mortality.
Outcome of elderly patients injured at winter resorts
2011, American Journal of Emergency MedicineCitation Excerpt :Care for patients in this age group is complicated by numerous factors including the presence of preexisting conditions, a higher propensity for injury (even with low-mechanism accidents), and medications that may complicate evaluation and treatment [3]. Several studies have shown that advanced age is associated with an elevated mortality rate in trauma [4-6], despite overall lower injury severity scores (ISS) [3,7]. The purpose of this study was to examine outcomes of a relatively active cohort of elderly trauma patients who presented with skiing injuries sustained at winter resorts.
High-energy skeletal trauma in the elderly
2012, Journal of Bone and Joint SurgeryCitation Excerpt :The myriad physiologic changes that accompany aging are outside the scope and focus of this review. Generally, however, elderly trauma patients warrant special consideration because their age, unique physiology, and preexisting comorbidities affect their outcome19 (see Appendix)3,4,8–14,20–49. In a retrospective review of eighty-five patients who were older than sixty-five years when they presented to a large, urban teaching hospital for the treatment of a pelvic fracture, six of the nine deaths in the cohort were the result of exacerbation of underlying cardiovascular disease50.
