The changing face of trauma care: a comprehensive evaluation of the impact of severe injury on elderly patients
FY 2016-17
Summary
Trauma centres provide specialized care that helps patients with severe injuries survive. Over the next decade, trauma centres will be treating an increasing number of seniors with severe injuries. Unfortunately, how best to care for elderly patients with traumatic injuries is unknown; previous studies suggest that current approaches may not be meeting seniors' needs. In this study, we will evaluate how severe injuries impact on elderly patients' health. We will specifically focus on identifying factors that might help us improve the care of elderly patients following severe injuries.
