Hemorrhage in Pelvic Ring Fractures After Low-Energy Trauma: A Systematic Review.

ABSTRACT: Background/Objectives: The aim was to investigate diagnostic, treatment and preventive options to establish an overview of the existing evidence on hemorrhage in pelvic fractures in older adults. Methods: A systematic review was conducted. Due to the rarity of this complication, only case reports and series with individuals older than 55 years with a pelvic ring fracture that is caused by a low-energy trauma or no apparent trauma, along with hemorrhage, were eligible. A search was performed on four databases. The CARE checklist was used to investigate the reporting integrity of the included studies. Analysis was performed narratively, and this study was registered on the Open Science Framework. Results: 21 patients from 19 studies were included (17 females and 4 males)
