Abstract
- Objective Pelvic fractures represent 5% of all traumatic fractures and 30% are isolated pelvic fractures. Pelvic fractures are found in 10 to 20% of severe trauma patients and their presence is highly correlated to increasing trauma severity scores. The high mortality of pelvic trauma, about 8 to 15%, is related to actively bleeding pelvic injuries and/or associated injuries to the head, abdomen or chest. Regardless of the severity of pelvic trauma, diagnosis and treatment must proceed according to a strategy that does not delay the management of the most severely injured patients. To date, in France, there are no guidelines issued by healthcare authorities or professional societies that address this subject. Design A consensus committee of 22 experts from the French Society of Anaesthesia and Intensive Care Medicine (Societe Francaise d’Anesthesie et de Reanimation; SFAR) and the French Society of Emergency Medicine (Societe Francaise de Medecine d’Urgence; SFMU) in collaboration with the French Society of Radiology (Societe Francaise de Radiologie; SFR), French Defence Health Service (Service de Sante des Armees; SSA), French Society of Urology (Association Francaise d’Urologie; AFU), the French Society of Orthopaedic and Trauma Surgery (Societe Francaise de Chirurgie Orthopedique et Traumatologique; SOCFCOT), and the French Society of Digestive Surgery (Societe Francaise de Chirurgie digestive; SFCD) was convened. A formal conflict-of-interest (COI) policy was developed at the onset of the process and enforced throughout. The entire guidelines process was conducted independently from any industry funding. The authors were advised to follow the principles of the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) system to guide assessment of quality of evidence. The potential drawbacks of making strong recommendations in the presence of low-quality evidence were emphasised. Methods Population, intervention, comparison, and outcomes (PICO) questions were reviewed and updated as needed, and evidence profiles were generated. The analysis of the literature and the recommendations were then conducted according to the GRADE® methodology. Results The SFAR Guideline panel provided 22 statements on prehospital and hospital management of the unstable patient with pelvic fracture. After three rounds of discussion and various amendments, a strong agreement was reached for 100% of recommendations. Of these recommendations, 11 have a high level of evidence (Grade 1 ± ), 11 have a low level of evidence (Grade 2 ± ). Conclusions Substantial agreement exists among experts regarding many strong recommendations for management of the unstable patient with pelvic fracture.
