Prehospital predictors of risk for pelvic fractures in pediatric trauma patients

Abstract: Pelvic fractures are uncommon in children, but can occur as a result of high-energy impact injuries to the lower torso in association with blunt trauma. Pelvic fractures can be associated with significant morbidity while the work-up and treatment for these injuries is costly. The aim was to identify risk factors that help determine which pediatric trauma patients are at highest risk of sustaining a pelvic fracture to aid in the development of criteria for the targeted use of pelvic radiographic imaging.

“…Pelvic fractures in children and adolescents are quite rare, their incidence (according to numerous authors) varying from 0.2% to 7.5% of all pediatric injuries [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9]. Pelvic fractures occur most often following road accidents, falls from height, and sports injuries [1,3,5,7,8,10,11,12].…”

“…Because pelvic fractures are a result of a large amount of force, it seems reasonable to use mechanism of injury as a screening criterion. Children struck by automobiles have been shown to have six times the risk for a pelvic fracture as compared to patients who fell, while children involved in a motor vehicle collision have four times the risk [20]. Our data show that MOI alone is not an independent predictor of a pelvic fracture.…”

“…Recently, the utility of routine pelvic radiographs in certain subsets of patients with blunt trauma has been questioned. A growing amount of evidence has repeatedly shown that the clinical exam is reliable enough to obviate the need for routine screening pelvic radiographs in children [14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27].…”

“…African-Americans were 40% less likely to sustain a pelvic fracture than Caucasians. Compared to falls, individuals being struck as a pedestrian or being an occupant in a motor vehicle crash were six times and 2 times respectively more likely to have a pelvic fracture [9].…”
