TL;DR: The mortality from TBI is higher in the geriatric population at all levels of head injury, in addition, functional outcome at hospital discharge is worse and age itself is an independent predictor for mortality in TBI.

Alicia M. Mohr,Robert F. Lavery,Allison Barone,Philip Bahramipour,Louis J. Magnotti,Adena J. Osband,Ziad C. Sifri,David H. Livingston +7 more

Admission or Observation Is Not Necessary after a Negative Abdominal Computed Tomographic Scan in Patients with Suspected Blunt Abdominal Trauma: Results of a Prospective, Multi-institutional Trial
David H. Livingston,Robert F. Lavery,Marian R. Passannante,Joan Skurnick,Timothy C. Fabian,Donald E. Fry,Mark A. Malangoni +6 more
TL;DR: Data indicate that abdominal tenderness is not predictive of an abdominal injury and that patients with a negative CT scan after suspected blunt abdominal trauma do not benefit from hospital admission and prolonged observation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Anne C. Mosenthal,Patricia A. Murphy,Lyn K. Barker,Robert F. Lavery,Angela Retano,David H. Livingston +5 more
TL;DR: Structured communication between physician and families resulted in earlier consensus around goals of care for dying trauma patients and integration of early palliative care alongside aggressive trauma care can be accomplished without change in mortality and has the ability to change the culture of care in the trauma ICU.
