Background: Research suggests that older age can influence perception, assessment, and treatment of acute pain, resulting in inadequate pain control for geriatric patients.
Objective: The purpose of this study was to determine if geriatric trauma patients are less likely to receive analgesia in our emergency department (ED).
Methods: This retrospective chart review includes blunt trauma adult patients who presented to a Level I trauma center ED between June 1 and December 31, 2012.
