YB PLOS One: Patient Outcomes for Young and Burgess Pelvic Injuries, 2007-2024

A 2007-2024 cohort study from a level 1 trauma centre tracks recovery, mortality, and reintervention rates for 346 patients with Young and Burgess classified pelvic ring injuries. The dataset, authored by Camryn C. Therrien and shared on figshare, compares patient-reported functional status and health-related quality of life to Dutch population norms. Median follow-up time was 2.2 years.

Use Cases

• Analyze recovery rate differences between Young and Burgess injury classifications based on reported functional status and HR-QoL scores.
• Model mortality risk factors within 30 days of trauma based on injury type and reported outcomes.
• Compare patient-reported outcomes to general population normative data as described in the study methodology.
• Investigate associations between injury classification and reintervention rates due to pain or discomfort.

Strengths

• Includes patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) for 346 patients, representing 75% of the eligible cohort.
• Provides specific recovery percentages for eight distinct Young and Burgess injury classifications (e.g., LC1=41%, VS=31%).
• Reports 30-day mortality rates for specific injury types (e.g., LC3=19%, APC3=16%).
• Covers a 17-year time span (2007-2024) from a single trauma centre.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Data may reflect geographic and institutional bias inherent to a single Dutch level 1 trauma centre.
