Among total cohort of patients with pelvic injuries (weighted number of patients = 1727), acetabular injuries (weighted number of patients = 297), or combined injuries (weighted number of patients = 620). Values calculated with use of a propensity score-based adjustment model including the following covariates: all demographic and injury characteristics listed in Table I as well as ED (emergency department) first shock, first ED assessment of pupils, midline shift, flail chest, open skull fracture, obesity, and paralysis along with relevant two-way interaction terms.
