dc.description.abstract | Objective:The elderly population is rapidly growing, and the population over age 65 is expected to increase. To evaluate factors that determine recovery in this population, we report a clinical analysis of 77 elder patients of mild head trauma over 65 years of age. Methods:The medical records were reviewed retrospectively for 77 head-injured patients aged 65 to 85 years who were admitted to our institution between March, 1995 and December, 1999. The outcome was compared with age, sex, Glasgow Coma Scale score, and radiologic characteristics. Results:As in all age groups, males predominated and motor vehicle accidents accounted for a highest proportion(35%). Of the traffic accidents, pedestrian injuries were more common. The single most common lesion was subdural hematoma. The initial radiologic findings were not correlated with outcome. The GCS score was statistically correlated with prognosis. Sixty-one patients(79.2%) had favorable outcome. Ten of seventy-seven patients(13%) died whereas cerebral injury accounted for 5 deaths. Non-cerebral causes of death were composed of pneumonia, multi-organ failure and sepsis. The mean hospitalization was 52.3±12.6 days. Conclusion:The mortality rate after injury is higher in elderly patients. It is therefore the factors of intracranial and extracranial cause which influence survival and outcome be carefully treated. Neurologic deficits, even though mild, are the risk factor of poor prognosis in the elderly. Earlier identification of risk and aggressive support may be needed for decreasing the morbidity and the mortality in the elderly. Key words:Elderly;Mild head trauma;Prognosis. | - |
