Key Words	Pelvic ring; Trauma code; Triage; Unstable pelvis; Abbreviated injury scale
Core Tip	The assignment of trauma level is important as it dictates the urgency of response and the size of the responding team. Because of the high morbidity and mortality from pelvic fractures, especially unstable pelvic fractures, it is critical that these injuries be appropriately triaged once discovered or suspected. Our study did not show an association between the severity of the pelvic ring injury and the trauma code level. This lack of an association suggests patients with significant pelvic injuries may be under-triaged. These injuries may benefit from a more severe trauma code status to prevent any undue morbidity or mortality.
