Frailty and injury causation.

CONCLUSION: : PF score, a marker of frailty, is associated with similar ISS and lower delta V and is independently linked to lower delta V thresholds for some injuries (i.e. rib fractures) but not for others (i.e. brain injuries and femur fractures). These associations suggest a potential role of frailty in injury causation. PMID: 23169127 [PubMed - in process]
