Prevalence and Severity of Traumatic Intracranial Hemorrhage in Older Adults with Low‐Energy Falls

Abstract

Medication with anticoagulants or antiplatelet agents was not associated with higher prevalence and severity of tICH in older patients with low-energy falls undergoing cCT examination. In addition to cCT-detected skull fractures, visible injuries above the clavicles were the strongest clinical predictors for tICH. Our findings merit prospective validation.
