recommendations! Published in 2019 at "European Journal of Trauma and Emergency Surgery"

DOI: 10.1007/s00068-019-01284-1

Abstract: Age has been associated with increased morbidity and mortality after traumatic injury. Disregarding trauma-related factors, this may be caused by the diminished ability to cope with stressors due to limited reserve, the so-called frailty. Inflammation… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.amjsurg.2017.10.050

Abstract: INTRODUCTION The consequences of discharging anemic geriatric trauma patients are not well studied. We hypothesize that anemia at discharge is associated with adverse outcomes. METHODS A 1-year retrospective review of patients ≥65 years was performed.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.amjsurg.2018.07.024

Abstract: INTRODUCTION The aim of our study was to assess the correlation between frailty & sarcopenia and impact of each condition on outcomes in geriatric trauma patients. METHODS We performed a four-year (2013-2016) secondary analysis of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.injury.2021.01.046

Abstract: OBJECTIVE Frailty is a state of systematic physiologic decline and reduced ability to recover from illness. There are no rapid quantitative biological measures to assess frailty. The study objective was to determine whether oxidation-reduction potential… read more here.
