Our study showed a low prevalence of acute and delayed ICH in older adults with mTBI. The ICH risk factors identified here should be considered when revising guidelines and developing a valid screening tool. Repeat CT imaging is recommended in patients with secondary neurological deterioration. In-hospital observation should be based on an assessment of frailty and comorbidities and not on CT findings alone.
