BACKGROUND: The objective is to examine the long-term survival status of geriatric trauma patients (GTPs) after major trauma.METHODS: A 10-year retrospective review at a Level I trauma center was performed. GTP were defined as age >= 65 years, with Injury Severity Score >= 30. Primary endpoints: survival at hospital discharge and long-term survival and discharge status. Two groups were defined: Abbreviated Injury Score (AIS) head >3 (G1, n = 116) and AIS head >3 (G2, n = 29). For GTP surviving hospitalization, two subgroups were defined: AIS head >3 (SG1, n = 77) and AIS head 3), 25 (32%) died while 52 (68%) survived a median of 33 months (IQR = 10.50-72.75). For the 20 patients with AIS
