Study Type

  • Study Type: Observational
  • Study Design
    • Time Perspective: Retrospective
  • Study Primary Completion Date: January 28, 2019

Detailed Description

This retrospective study reviewed data pertaining to elderly patients aged ≥ 65 years who were admitted into a Level I trauma center, between January 1, 2009 and December 31, 2017.
