Methods: This retrospective secondary data analysis used medical records from trauma patients aged \u2265 65 years who were triaged as Korean Triage and Acuity Scale levels 4 or 5 and visited a regional emergency medical center or regional trauma center in Korea between January 1 and December 31, 2022. Of 38,371 visits during the study period, 442 older adults with mild traumatic injuries were included. Data on general characteristics, disease-related characteristics, medical treatments, and nursing interventions were analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-tests, \u03c7\u00b2 tests, and multivariate logistic regression analysis. Results: The 442 participants comprised 228 men (51.6%) and 214 women (48.4%); 225 participants (50.9%) were aged 65\u201374 years. In the multivariate analysis, longer emergency department stays were associated with a higher likelihood of hospitalization (odds ratio [OR] = 1.01; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.00\u20131.01). Patients with fractures were more likely to be hospitalized (OR = 11.25; 95% CI, 1.12\u2013111.78), whereas those who received counseling and education were less likely to be hospitalized (OR = 0.01; 95% CI, 0.00\u20130.04). Conclusion: These findings highlight the important role of emergency nursing care in the hospital admission process and support the need to incorporate nursing-related factors into future emergency department research and intervention strategies.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.7586\/jkbns.26.011","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,5,26]],"date-time":"2026-05-26T07:10:06Z","timestamp":1779779406000},"page":"353-364","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.7586\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Factors associated with hospitalization among older patients with mild traumatic injuries presenting to the emergency department in Korea: a retrospective observational study"],"prefix":"10.7586","volume":"28","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0008-3758-5782","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Songhee","family":"Jeong","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2965-0969","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Younghui","family":"Hwang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"4406","reference":[{"key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s40520-025-03021-8"},{"key":"ref2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.gerinurse.2025.103623"},{"key":"ref3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/s12245-024-00584-7"},{"key":"ref4","volume-title":"2024 annual report on emergency medical statistics [Internet]","year":"2025"},{"key":"ref5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.15441\/ceem.20.098"},{"key":"ref6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3390\/jcm15072552"},{"key":"ref7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.15441\/ceem.25.291"},{"key":"ref8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s13304-022-01337-y"},{"key":"ref9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.4235\/agmr.25.0124"},{"key":"ref10","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ejim.2023.03.018"},{"key":"ref11","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s11739-025-03909-3"},{"key":"ref12","volume-title":"Emergency Medical Services Act [Internet]","year":"2026"},{"key":"ref13","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jen.2022.09.019"},{"key":"ref14","first-page":"408","volume-title":"Factors associated hospital admission in patients with low acuity visiting emergency department","author":"Oh","year":"2018"},{"key":"ref15","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.22470\/pemj.2020.00108"},{"key":"ref16","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.17079\/jkgn.2023.00143"},{"key":"ref17","volume-title":"Korean Standard Classification of Diseases and Causes of Death (8th rev.)
