Pediatric Pelvic Injuries - Epidemiology and Demography

Completed

• Conditions: Pelvis Injury; Child, Only
• Interventions: Procedure: surgical treatment according to standard indication criteria; Procedure: conservative treatment according to standard indication criteria

• Registration Number: NCT04756947
• Lead Sponsor: Charles University, Czech Republic

Brief Summary

A retrospective epidemiological study of pediatric pelvic injury from level 1 trauma centre.

Hypothesis: In the pediatric population, majority of pelvic injuries is of type A according to AO/OTA (Arbeitsgemeinschaft für Osteosynthesefragen/Orthopaedic Trauma Association) classification, the treatment is mostly conservative and complications of injury and treatment are less common than in adults.

Detailed Description

Study design: Retrospective analysis (13 years), excluding pathological fractures. AO/OTA type, epidemiological data, mode of treatment, and complications were recorded. Data were analyzed using the Fisher exact test and the Wilcoxon test.

Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
Pelvic injury	conservative treatment according to standard indication criteria	Paediatric patients (age ≤ 18 years) with a single pelvic bone fracture or pelvic ring injury, excluding pathological fractures.
Pelvic and acetabular injury	conservative treatment according to standard indication criteria	Paediatric patients (age ≤ 18 years) with a combined pelvic and acetabular injury or an isolated acetabular fracture, excluding pathological fractures.
Pelvic injury	surgical treatment according to standard indication criteria	Paediatric patients (age ≤ 18 years) with a single pelvic bone fracture or pelvic ring injury, excluding pathological fractures.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Epidemiological study of pediatric pelvic trauma	Follow-up of each patient for minimum 12 months.	1. The overall incidence of pelvic ring injury per 100,000 children per year.; 2. The overall incidence of isolated acetabular fractures per 100,000 children per year.; 3. The overall incidence of combined pelvic ring and acetabular injuries per 100,000 children per year.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Demographical study of pediatric pelvic trauma	Follow-up of each patient for longer then 12 months.	1. Comparison of the incidence of observed injuries by sex.; 2. Comparison of the incidence of observed injuries according to the severity of trauma (single trauma vs. multiple trauma).; 3. The incidence of the types of pelvic ring injury (according to AO/OTA classification) per 100,000 children per year.
