Ground-level falls (GLF) are often deemed a low-energy mechanism of injury (MOI) and not a recommended triage criterion for trauma team activation. We hypothesize that in elderly patients, a GLF may represent a high-risk group for injury and concurrent comorbidities that warrant trauma service evaluation and should be triaged appropriately.

Apr 29, 2020 · Ground-level falls (GLF) are typically reported as a minor mechanism of injury; however, they represent a significant portion of hospitalized geriatric trauma patients as they can result in multisystem injury in this subset of the population. Our study aimed to analyze trends in geriatric trauma falls on the national level.

A ground level fall (GLF) is defined as “inadvertently coming to rest on the ground, floor or other lower level” . GLFs are responsible for 15% of all emergency department visits in the USA and account for 25–33% of all injuries among the elderly (2–4).

This study aimed to compare long-term mortality in elderly patients with mild TBI and traumatic subdural hematoma (tSDH) due to ground-level fall (GLF) versus those with TBI and tSDH due to another cause (i.e., non-ground-level fall [nGLF]).

Apr 6, 2015 · To determine whether frail elderly adults are at greater risk of fracture after a ground-level fall (GLF) than those who are not frail. Prospective observational study. Level 1 trauma center. All elderly (≥65) adults presenting after a GLF over 1 year (N = 110; mean age ± SD 79.5 ± 8.3, 54% male).

Nov 1, 2022 · Our study suggests that elderly patients with mild TBI and tSDH due to a GLF have significantly higher long-term mortality rates compared with elderly patients with mild TBI due to other causes. This is particularly true for patients 60–79 years old.

Objectives: To determine whether frail elderly adults are at greater risk of fracture after a ground-level fall (GLF) than those who are not frail. Design: Prospective observational study. Setting: Level 1 trauma center. Participants: All elderly (≥65) adults presenting after a GLF over 1 year (N = 110; mean age ± SD 79.5 ± 8.3, 54% male).

Ground level fall (GLF), or a fall from standing height, is the most common mechanism of trauma for geriatric patients in the US and worldwide [6,7]. GLFs increase in frequency with increasing age with an annual incidence of 30% in those over 65 …

Ground-level falls (GLFs) in older adults are increasing as life expectancy increases, and more patients are being discharged to skilled nursing facilities (SNFs) for continuity of care. However, GLF patients are not a homogenous cohort, and the role of frailty remains to be assessed.
