What is Pediatric Pelvic Fractures: an Epidemiological Analysis of a Population-based Database about?

Despite a high prevalence in the pediatric trauma population, there remains a lack of large population-based epidemiological studies on pediatric pelvic fractures. Using a de-identified national clinical registry, we investigated the epidemiological features of pediatric pelvic fractures. We performed a retrospective analysis of data obtained from the IBM Watson Health Explorys Platform (Armonk, NY). From all children ages 0-14, two cohorts were created, children diagnosed with a traumatic injury and children diagnosed with a fracture of the pelvis. We then calculated the overall incidence of pelvic fractures, mortality rate, and identified common associated injuries, fracture locations, and complications. 2,690 pediatric pelvic fractures were identified yielding an incidence of 9.8/100,000 children per year with a mortality rate of 0.3%. Pelvic fractures were more common among Caucasians than in African Americans and Asians, and more common in males than females. The most common types of pelvic fracture were fractures of the ilium (42%), pubis (18%), sacrum (11%), ischium (10%), and acetabulum (8%). Most common associated injuries included injury of the lower extremity (43%), intr
