Young-Burgess Pelvic Injury Outcomes: Recovery and Mortality Rates, 2007-2024

A 2007-2024 cohort study from a level 1 trauma centre tracks patient-reported outcomes, mortality, and reintervention rates for 346 patients with Young and Burgess classified pelvic ring injuries. The dataset includes functional status and health-related quality of life scores compared to Dutch population norms, with a median follow-up of 2.2 years. It was authored by Camryn C. Therrien and shared under a CC-BY-4.0 license.

Use Cases

• Predicting full recovery likelihood based on Young-Burgess injury classification.
• Analyzing 30-day mortality risk factors for different pelvic fracture types.
• Modeling reintervention rates due to pain or discomfort post-treatment.
• Comparing patient-reported functional outcomes to general population normative data.

Strengths

• Includes patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) for 346 patients (75% of eligible cohort).
• Provides specific recovery, mortality, and reintervention rates for eight Young-Burgess injury classifications.
• Median follow-up time of 2.2 years (IQR 3.6) provides longitudinal perspective.

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 level 1 trauma centre.
