A decade of geriatric traumatic brain injuries in Finland: population-based trends.

Age and Ageing
Jussi P PostiVille Kytö

Abstract

we investigated trends of traumatic brain injury (TBI)-related hospitalisations, deaths, acute neurosurgical operations (ANO), and lengths of hospital stay (LOS) in patients aged ≥70 years in Finland using a population-based cohort. nationwide databases were searched for all admissions with a TBI diagnosis as well as later deaths for persons ≥70 years of age during 2004-2014. the study period included 20,259 TBI-related hospitalisations (mean age = 80.7 years, men = 48.9%). The incidence of TBI-related hospitalisations was 283/100,000 person-years with an estimated overall annual increase of 2.9% (95% CI: 0.4-5.9%). There was an annual decrease of 2.2% in in-hospital mortality (IHM) in men (95% CI: 0.1-4.3%), with no change in women or overall. There was an annual decrease of 1.1% in odds for ANOs among hospitalised overall (95% CI: 0.1-2.1%) and of 1.4% in men (95% CI: 0.0-2.7%), while no change was observed in women. LOS decreased annually by 2.5% (95% CI: 2.1-2.9%). The incidence of TBI-related deaths was 70/100,000 person-years with an estimated annual increase of 1.6% in women (95% CI: 0.2-2.9%), but no change in men or overall. Mean ages of TBI-related admissions and deaths increased (P < 0.001). the incidence rate of ger...Continue Reading
