Studies comparing EDF and LDF for PRF in polytrauma patients defined as ISS\u2009&gt;\u200915 were included. All included cohorts performed definitive fixation after haemodynamic stabilisation or adequate response to resuscitation. Random effects meta-analyses of pooled raw data were employed using the Mantel-Haenszel and Inverse -variance methods.

All included studies were retrospective; no randomized trials were identified. The most common time point used by 7 studies to define EDF was within 24\u00a0h of hospital admission and LDF (&gt;\u200924\u00a0h). The most common reasons for LDF were surgeon\u2019s choice, availability of pelvic surgeon and transfer from other hospitals. Our meta-analysis revealed that EDF was associated with a reduced length of hospital stay (WMD=-3.52 days; 95% CI: [-5.43 to -1.62],\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009&lt;\u20090.0003) and lower incidence of ARDS (RR\u2009=\u20090.50; 95% CI: [0.26 to 0.96],\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u20090.04).

However, the adequacy of resuscitation and the estimate of physiologic reserve should be balanced with the risks of operative fixation in all patients. Further prospective validation studies are warranted to test the predictive ability of the various proposed trauma care models and stratify patients for EDF.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1007\/s00402-025-06152-9","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,12,26]],"date-time":"2025-12-26T09:46:04Z","timestamp":1766742364000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Early vs. late definitive fixation of pelvic ring fractures in resuscitated polytraumatized patients: a systematic review and meta-analysis"],"prefix":"10.1007","volume":"146","author":[{"given":"Krishna","family":"Oochit","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mohammed Araiz","family":"Imran","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Andrew","family":"Marsh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,12,26]]},"reference":[{"key":"6152_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"380","DOI":"10.1097\/TA.0b013e3182ab0cde","volume":"76","author":"H Yoshihara","year":"2014","unstructured":"Yoshihara H, Yoneoka D (2014) Demographic epidemiology of unstable pelvic fracture in the united States from 2000 to 2009: trends and in-hospital mortality.
