Characteristics and Outcomes of Traumatic Brain Injury among Older Adults with and without Pre‐injury Dementia: an Israel National Trauma Registry Study

Older adults have the highest and fastest rising incidence of traumatic brain injury (TBI) compared to all other age groups. Few studies have examined the prevalence of pre‐injury dementia among older adults presenting with TBI. None have examined injury characteristics and outcomes specifically among those with pre‐injury dementia. Our aim was to describe prevalence of pre‐injury dementia among older adults hospitalized with TBI in Israel and to examine features of those with versus without pre‐injury dementia.
