Overview

Retrospective study examines risk factors and costs of pelvic infections in open pelvic fracture patients, suggesting implications for treatment.

Key Points

  • This research aims to identify risk factors and clinical outcomes associated with pelvic infections following open pelvic fractures.
  • Retrospective review of patients with open pelvic fractures treated between March 2016 and February 2023
  • Logistic regression analysis to identify factors associated with pelvic infections
  • Evaluation of medical costs, hospital stay, and surgery frequency between pelvic infection and non-infection groups.
  • 22 out of 44 patients developed pelvic infections.
  • Gustilo–Anderson grade III injuries were more common in the infection group (n=18) than in the non-infection group (n=8), p=0.008.
  • Anorectal injuries occurred more frequently in the infection group (n=15) vs. the non-infection group (n=3), p=0.001.
