Abstract

The geriatric population is increasing worldwide due to longer life expectancy and declining fertility rates. Parallel to this demographic shift, emergency department visits by elderly patients are also rising. Countries are increasingly required to allocate more resources for the care of geriatric patients. Trauma, in particular, remains a major cause of significant morbidity and mortality in this age group.

Özet

Geriatrik insan popülasyonu, uzun yaşam beklentisi ve doğurganlık oranlarının düşmesiyle tüm dünyada artmaktadır. Bu artışa paralel olarak yaşlı hastaların acil servise başvuru oranları da artmaktadır. Ülkeler geriatrik hastalara her geçen gün daha fazla kaynak ayırmak durumunda kalmaktadır. Özellikle travma geriatrik yaş grubu hastalarda ciddi bir morbidite ve mortalite nedenidir.
