Population included older adults
Comparison of admission rates to general medical and trauma units
Women and individuals with low falls were more prone to be admitted to general medical units

Accounting for age and frailty women and people with low falls were more likely to be admitted to a general medical unit than a trauma unit compared to men. This supports the need for standard admission guidelines for trauma.
