Epidemiological characteristics and impact of sepsis on survival after osteoporotic pelvic fracture in Austria.

ABSTRACT: We performed a retrospective nationwide register-based cohort study which included all in-hospital patients aged ≥ 50 with pelvic fracture (PF) between 2010 and 2018 in Austria. We identified patients who were hospitalized with sepsis within 180 days following a PF event. Aetiology of sepsis was divided by unspecified, gram positive, gram negative and other. Among 59,081 patients hospitalized with PF between 2010 and 2018 we identified 619 (1.05%) patients who were hospitalized with sepsis within 180 days following PF. The cumulative incidence risk of sepsis within 180 days after PF was significantly higher in males (1.4%, 95% CI 1.2%-1.5%) as compared to females (0.92%, 95% CI 0.83%-1.0%), p < 0.001. In the cohort of patients with sepsis, the one-year mortality was 50.4%. Mortality risk w
