Impact of Pelvic Fracture Sites on Fibrinogen Depletion in Patients with Blunt Trauma: A Single-Center Cohort Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

We aimed to examine the association of pelvic fracture sites with the minimum fibrinogen level within 24 h after hospital arrival.

Methods

We conducted a single-center cohort study using health records review. We included patients with pelvic fractures transported by ambulance to a tertiary-care hospital from January 2012 to December 2018 and excluded those transported from other hospitals or aged younger than 16 years. The pelvic fracture was diagnosed and confirmed by trauma surgeons and/or radiologists. We classified the fracture sites of the pelvis as ilium, pubis, ischium, acetabulum, sacrum, sacroiliac joint diastasis, and pubic symphysis diastasis, and each side was counted separately except for pubic symphysis diastasis. We performed linear regression anal
