Acute Abdomen in the Geriatric Patient
Introduction Geriatric emergency department visits are most often for acute abdominal pain. More elderly patients with acute abdominal pain visit the ER as the elderly population grows. However, emergency physicians face more challenges. Elderly abdominal pain symptoms vary. However, disease manifestations, cognitive issues, and communication issues may delay diagnosis in elderly patients, increasing mortality. Indeed, early and accurate acute abdomen diagnosis in elderly patients greatly affects their outcomes.
