Article Synopsis
- The study examines elderly patients (aged 65+) who experienced low-level falls, focusing on the use of antithrombotic agents and the resulting injury patterns, particularly intracranial hemorrhage (ICH).
- Out of 4,074 patients, 28.3% had traumatic ICH, with a significant correlation found between antithrombotic use and ICH occurrence, as well as higher mortality rates among those taking these medications.
- The results indicate that anticoagulants are particularly linked to increased ICH risk, emphasizing the need for careful medication management in this vulnerable population.
