Effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on trauma-related emergency medical service in older people: a retrospective cohort study.

The high prevalence rate of geriatric traumas can be primarily attributed to their physical problems and no control over movements caused by old age, as well as unsafe living conditions. To address these issues, it is suggested that facilities be provided to assist with mobility problems. Moreover, constructing suitable pedestrian bridges and regularly checking neighborhoods and surroundings to identify potential risk factors should be prioritized. Once these risk factors are identified, efforts can be made to adjust and eliminate them, thereby minimizing traumatic events and enhancing a safe and friendly environment for the older people.
