Are We Getting Old? What Does Post Injury Mean Today?
Geriatric trauma patients have been identified as the fastest growing population at trauma centers across the country. By 2025, it is estimated that 40% of all trauma admits will be elderly [1]. Adults ages 65 years and older constitute the fastest-growing segment of the US population. This age group is projected to constitute 19.3% of the population by the year 2030 [2], and trauma systems are already seeing a disproportionate increase in geriatric trauma patients, as 23.7% of patients in the national trauma data bank of 2011 were 65 years and older
