INTRODUCTION: Contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) scans are usually needed in the emergency department (ED) to evaluate intra-abdominal injuries associated with pelvic fractures. Three-dimensional (3-D) images for pelvis reconstruction are also needed for planning surgical fixation after admission. This study investigates the advantages integrating a one-stage computed tomography (CT) scan with these two diagnostic modalities simultaneously to reduce the time to surgery and improve the outcomes of pelvic fracture fixation.
METHODS: A retrospective cohort study (2018-2021) of patients with pelvic fractures was performed. Patients were categorized into the one-stage CT group or the two-stage CT group, and propensity score matching was used to address biases. The outcome measures included time to surgical fixation, time to CT scan for 3-D pelvis reconstruction, and overall length of hospital stay.
RESULTS: Four hundred forty-four pelvic fracture patients who underwent definite surgical fixation were identified. Of those, 320 underwent a one-stage CT scan, while the remaining 124 underwent a two-stage CT scan. After well-balanced matching, those in the one-stage CT group had a significantly shorter time to surgical fixation than those in the two-stage CT group (4.6 vs. 6.8 days, p < 0.001). Even among critically ill patients necessitating intensive care unit (ICU) admission, the one-stage CT scan group had a shorter time to definitive surgical fixation (5.5 vs. 7.2 days, p = 0.002) and a shorter hospital stay (19.0 vs. 32.7 days, p = 0.006).
CONCLUSION: A one-stage contrast-enhanced CT scan combined with simultaneous 3-D pelvis reconstruction is promising for expediting surgical fixation in pelvic fracture patients. This innovative strategy may improve patient outcomes by facilitating timely surgical interventions and minimizing delays associated with additional CT scans.
