Understanding Failure to Rescue in Geriatric Trauma: A National Analysis of Predictors and Outcomes
Findings showed a significant increase in FTR rates over time among geriatric trauma patients, with findings highlighting disparities such as race and insurance status associated with FTR, as well as predictors such as age, injury severity, and trauma verification level. Increasing access to high-level trauma centers, enhancing resource allocation, and refining care protocols are critical to mitigating FTR risk in this vulnerable population.
