BACKGROUND: Although associated with significant morbidity, there is no universally accepted management of rib fractures. We hypothesized that variations in risk stratification may influence this.
METHODS: A questionnaire was developed to assess providers' perceived risk factors and injury stratification of rib fracture patients at a Level 1 trauma center.
RESULTS: There were 143 responses (36% physician response rate). Hypoxia, age, number of ribs fractured, pre-existing pulmonary disease, and flail chest were identified as the most important risk factors determining morbidity and mortality in blunt chest trauma. While clinicians agreed on predicted mortality for <2 fractured ribs, significant variation for 5-6 and >8 rib fractures was seen. EM and surgery providers significantly differed in assessment of injury severity.
CONCLUSION: Providers identified common risk factors for increased morbidity and mortality. However, the difference in perceived severity between providers indicates a need for clinical tools to assist in better standardizing rib fracture management.
