| Core Tip |
We analyzed 558 patients with pelvic fractures after blunt trauma admitted to an urban level 1 trauma center over a 6-year period. To ensure similar injury severity, propensity score matching methodology was implemented to compare geriatric and non-geriatric patients, and to assess the impact of abdominal co-injuries and clinical value of contract blush. It was established that half of the patients with pelvic fractures had concomitant injuries and that similarly injured geriatric patients had significantly higher mortality than non-geriatric patients. Abdominal co-injuries were diagnosed in 17% of patients. Contrast blush was present in one fifth of patients with PF but only half of them required embolization and in similarly injured subjects there was no association with longer hospitalization or higher mortality. |
