National Analysis of Socioeconomic and Demographic Predictors of Physical Abuse Among Geriatric Individuals With Facial Fractures
Elder abuse has a distinct indefinable pattern of injury among geriatric patients with facial fractures. These were more prevalent among patients who were younger, male, of lower socioeconomic status, from racial minority groups, and with fractures in specific anatomic regions. Understanding these findings can improve prevention strategies and effective support for geriatric patients with facial fractures from assault.
