Radiographic and Clinical Predictors of Bladder Rupture in Blunt Trauma Patients with Pelvic Fracture

Patients with isolated acetabular fractures and patients with <30 RBC/HPF did not sustain bladder injury. In addition to hematuria, specific pelvic injury patterns are associated with bladder rupture. If validated, a clinical prediction rule derived from this data has the potential to guide the care of the blunt trauma patient.
