High vs Low Fall Injuries in Asia: 7-Year Multicenter Study

This multicenter study revealed a declining overall incidence of fall-related injuries, accompanied by a rising proportion of high falls, predominantly among non-elderly males. Mortality risk increased significantly at fall heights of 3 and 6 meters, supporting current field triage thresholds. Across both high and low falls, lower SpO₂ and GCS were key predictors of 30-day mortality, with head injury being an additional risk factor in low fall cases
