Increased mortality in patients with rib fractures starts at 65 years of age without a further increase until age ≥ 80. NRF does not predict increased mortality independent of age. Severe TBI is the most common cause of death in patients 16-75 years, as opposed to respiratory complications in patients 80 years-old or greater.
