Impact of alcohol exposure on trauma in patients aged 60 years and older
Alcohol exposure did not affect the average ISS and NISS in patients aged ≥60 years, and alcohol positivity was not associated with a significant difference in the severe injury group (ISS ≥ 16 and NISS ≥ 16). However, severe head injury and GCS scores ≤8 were observed more frequently in the AP group. Alcohol exposure is associated with increased ICU admission and higher mortality rates.
