Enhanced pro-inflammatory response and higher mortality rates in geriatric trauma patients
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! 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.
