Outcomes of Traumatic Intracranial Hemorrhage in the Elderly
Traumatic Intracranial Hemorrhage in the Elderly: Prognostic Factors and Outcomes
This observational study aims to describe the clinical and radiological characteristics of older adults (aged 65 years and older) who experience traumatic bleeding in the brain, also known as traumatic intracranial hemorrhage. In older patients, even minor head injuries like a simple ground-level fall can lead to significant brain bleeding due to age-related changes, frailty, and the frequent use of blood-thinning medications.
The researchers will prospectively monitor geriatric patients admitted to the hospital with a traumatic brain bleed confirmed by a CT scan who are being treated conservatively (without surgery). During the hospital stay, the research team will collect data on the patients' pre-injury health status, current clinical condition, and specific findings on their brain scans.
The main goal of the study is to assess the patients' functional recovery and survival by the time they are discharged from the hospital. By observing these cases, the study seeks to identify which specific clinical signs and radiological factors help predict poor or favorable outcomes, ultimately aiming to improve the management and care of older adults with head trauma.

Geriatric Patients with Traumatic Intracranial Hemorrhage
This cohort consists of conservatively managed patients aged 65 years or older with a history of blunt or traumatic head injury and CT-confirmed intracranial hemorrhage.
Patients who are managed surgically or those with a penetrating brain injury are excluded from this cohort.
Because this is an observational study, no experimental interventions are administered to the participants.

Functional outcome assessed by the Glasgow Outcome Scale-Extended (GOSE)
大体时间：Baseline
|
Functional outcome will be evaluated using the Glasgow Outcome Scale-Extended (GOSE).
The GOSE scale ranges from 1 to 8, where higher scores indicate a better functional outcome.
The results are subsequently categorized to define an unfavorable outcome as a GOSE score of 1-4, and a favorable outcome as a GOSE score of 5-8.
