Brief Summary:
As a low quality, weak recommendation, it is part of the Scandinavian guidelines for initial management of minimal, mild and moderate head injuries in adults, that patient with a GCS of 14-15 and anticoagulation therapy and a normal CT should be admitted for observation for at least 24 hours. No data are available on the adverse events related to the observational 24-hour admission. The aim was to evaluate the risk of post-CT hemorrhage as well as the risk of complications to an admission (e.g. deleria, thrombosis due to pause of antithrombotic medications.
Detailed Description:
As a low quality, weak recommendation, it is part of the Scandinavian guidelines for initial management of minimal, mild and moderate head injuries in adults, that patient with a GCS of 14-15 and anticoagulation therapy and a normal CT should be admitted for observation for at least 24 hours. No data are available on the adverse events related to the observational 24-hour admission.
Because of this, the investigators aim to evaluate the following outcomes in a cohort of consecutive patients aged 65 or above, admitted at the acute neurological department or emergency room of Bispebjerg Hospital in the Capital Region of Denmark from June 1st 2020 - May 31st 2022 following a mild or minimal head trauma with no intracranial hemorrhage on initial head CT and compare outcomes of patients pre-treated with oral anticoagulants to patients treated with platelet inhibitors and patients without antithrombotic treatment:
* Delayed intracranial hemorrhage within 24 hours and 4 weeks (incl. readmissions)
* Delayed diagnosis of intracranial hemorrhage
* Thrombotic events within 1 week of trauma
* Deliria during admission
* Other injuries with a competing need for admissions at other departments
The overall goal is to add to the evidence in the area, so that there can be sufficient evidence, to potentially update the recommendations in the Scandinavian Guideline for initial management of minimal, mild, and moderate head injuries in adults. This with the hope that the results will benefit not only the health care economy, but also the quality of patient care.
