Head trauma

1. Head trauma is associated with olfactory dysfunction in humans (OR 163.04).

   “Head trauma (OR = 163.04) and chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS, OR = 161.39) were the dominant risk factors for OD (p < 0.001).”

1. Head trauma predicts 30-day mortality in humans (trauma-induced fractures) (OR: 16.514; 95% CI: 4.925-55.367).

   “head trauma (OR: 16.514; 95% CI: 4.925-55.367; p < 0.001), and cerebrovascular disease (OR: 6.725; 95% CI: 2.219-20.385; p = 0.001) emerged as independent predictors of 30-day mortality.”

1. Antithrombotic agents are linked with a higher risk of head trauma in humans after ground-level falls (49.2 vs 28.6%, p < 0.001).

   “Head trauma (n = 429, 42.3%) was significantly more frequent among patients with AT (49.2 vs 28.6%, p < 0.001).”
