This study investigates early significant complications after pelvic-ring injuries using the National Trauma Data Bank, and finds a significant association between time to fixation and complications.
PurposeWhile decreased time to fixation in femur fractures improves mortality, it remains unclear if the same relationship exists for pelvic fractures. The National Trauma Data Bank (NTDB) is a data repository for trauma hospitals in the United States (injury characteristics, perioperative data, procedures, 30-day complications), and we used this to investigate early, significant complications after pelvic-ring injuries.MethodsThe NTDB (2015-2016) was queried to capture operative pelvic ring injuries in adult patients with injury severity score (ISS) >= 15. Complications included medical and surgical complications, as well as 30-day mortality. Multivariable logistic regression was used to investigate the association between days to procedure and complications after adjusting for demographic characteristics and comorbidities.Results2325 patients met inclusion criteria. 532 (23.0%) sustained complications, and 72 (3.2%) died within the first 30 days. The most common complications were deep vein thrombosis (DVT) (5.7%), acute kidney injury (AKI) (4.6%), and unplanned intensive care unit (ICU) admission (4.4%). In a multivariate analysis, days to procedure was independently significantly associated with complications, with an adjusted odds ratio (95% confidence interval) of 1.06 (1.03-1.09, P < 0.001), best interpreted as a 6% increase in the odds of complication or death for each additional day.ConclusionTime to pelvic fixation is a significant and modifiable risk factor for major complications and death. This suggests we should prioritize time to pelvic fixation on trauma patients to minimize mortality and major complications.
