Analyses of the characteristics and prognosis of elderly patients visiting a high-capacity Turkish emergency department due to an occupational accident: a cross-sectional study
Occupational accidents in elderly individuals most commonly result in upper extremity injuries, with lacerations being the predominant trauma mechanism. Among elderly patients with occupational accidents, those with thoracic trauma due to falls from heights and those with high injury severity scores are associated with worse prognoses.
