    Boone, Sherry M.; Collier, Bryan R.; Faulks, Emily R.; Locklear, Tonja M.; Bower, Katie L.; Lollar, Daniel I.; Dhiman, Nitasha; Nussbaum, Michael S.; Hamill, Mark E. (Wolters Kluwer Health, Inc., 2020)
    The purpose of this study was to assess the long-term mortality of adult and geriatric trauma patients who undergo tracheostomy and/or gastrostomy tube placement after severe trauma. Our hypothesis is that geriatric trauma patients who undergo tracheostomy and/or gastrostomy tube placement will have significantly worse mortality after hospital discharge than adult patients undergoing similar procedures.
