Introduction: Mild head injury (MHI) is a common clinical problem in emergency departments (EDs). Long-standing debate is still going on about MHI in the elderly: current guidelines recommend to perform a CT scan on this group.
Materials And Methods: We performed a retrospective study by reviewing patients older than 65 years, evaluated in our ED for which a CT scan of the head was performed for MHI, between 2004 and 2010.
Background: Intracranial haemorrhage (ICH) is the type of stroke associated with the highest death rate, and about 30% of ICH occurs in patients on antithrombotic treatment. This study relates clinical presentations and outcome of ICH patients on oral anticoagulant (OA) or antiplatelet (AP) therapy admitted to 33 Italian emergency departments (ED).
Methods: Consecutive patients were enrolled after cranial computed tomography (CT).
