Geriatric Head Trauma Short Term Outcomes Project

NCT04044924 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 5387

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

This prospective observational study will examine the incidence of intracranial hemorrhage. The investigators will compare patients on anticoagulant and/or antiplatelet therapy with head trauma compared to patients not on these medications. While many studies have sought to quantify the incidence of intracranial hemorrhage in these patients, there is considerable controversy regarding their care and what to do after an initial negative head CT in anticoagulated geriatric patients who have experienced head trauma.
