Injuries among middle aged and older adult patients presenting to the emergency department: a retrospective cohort study
Middle aged and Older adult trauma patients represent a complex and vulnerable population in emergency care. Male gender, lower limb injuries, comorbidities, and non-ambulance transport modes are significant predictors of surgical intervention. Identifying these factors can guide early triage, optimize care, and inform preventive strategies to improve outcomes and reduce the healthcare burden.
