Adjusted mortality risk was assessed using multivariable logistic regression, indicating notable trends in patient outcomes.
Exploratory laparotomy showed a yearly decline in usage by 0.60%, while preperitoneal pelvic packing increased significantly over the years.
Trauma centers are witnessing an increase in open pelvis fracture cases, particularly among mid-tier facilities.
