Article Synopsis
- Trauma and pre-existing conditions (PECs) significantly influence the hospital and ICU length of stay (LOS) for older patients aged 55 and above, highlighting the need for focused care in this demographic.
- In a study of 5,168 trauma patients, certain PECs like congestive heart failure (CHF), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and chronic renal failure (CRF) were found to increase H-LOS and ICU-LOS by several days.
- The findings suggest that recognizing and managing PECs in older trauma patients is crucial, as it can lead to more effective care and potentially shorter hospital stays.*
