Trial summary

Unstable pelvic fracture with bleeding can be fatal, with a mortality rate of up to 40%. Therefore, early detection and treatment are important in unstable pelvic trauma. We investigated the early predictive factors for possible embolization in patients with hemodynamically unstable pelvic trauma. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: The Size of Pelvic Hematoma Can be a Predictive Factor for Angioembolization in Hemodynamically Unstable Pelvic Trauma

Unstable pelvic fracture with bleeding can be fatal, with a mortality rate of up to 40%. Therefore, early detection and treatment are important in unstable pelvic trauma. We investigated the early predictive factors for possible embolization in patients with hemodynamically unstable pelvic trauma. The purpose of this study was to predict the necessity of embolization and the timing of angiography using CT scans.

Read the detailed description

Background: Unstable pelvic fracture with bleeding can be fatal, with a mortality rate of up to 40%. Therefore, early detection and treatment are important in unstable pelvic trauma. We investigated the early predictive factors for possible embolization in patients with hemodynamically unstable pelvic trauma.

Methods: From January 2011 to December 2013, 46 patients with shock arrived at a single hospital within 24 h after injury. Of them, 44 patients underwent computed tomography (CT) after initial resuscitation, except for 2 who were dead on arrival. Nine patients with other organ injuries were excluded. Seventeen patients underwent embolization. A single radiologist measured the width (longest length in axial view) and length (longest length in coronal view) of pelvic hematoma on CT scans. Demographic, clinical, and radiological data were reviewed retrospectively.

Embolization groupThe group that underwent embolization after pelvic injury.
Non-embolization groupThe observed group of pelvic injuries without embolization

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Predictive factors for embolization in unstable pelvic fracture

    The factors affecting embolization are analyzed by logistic regression analysis

    Measured: 2 years

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. The odds ratio of mortality rate between two groups

    Obtain the difference in mortality rate between two groups

    Measured: 2 years

  2. Cut-off values of pelvic hematoma width

    Measure the length of pelvic hematoma using the ROC curve

    Measured: 2 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Multiple Pelvic Fractures, run by Asan Medical Center.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 2 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 9 May 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Predictive factors for embolization in unstable pelvic fracture (time frame: 2 years). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03519594, which also lists 4 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 9 May 2018.
