ESS gradually and accurately predicted 30-day mortality; 3.5%, 50.0% and 85.7% of patients with ESS of 3, 12 and 17 died after surgery, respectively with a c-statistic of 0.84. Similarly, ESS gradually and accurately predicted complications; 21.0%, 57.1% and 88.9% of patients with ESS of 1, 6 and 13 developed postoperative complications, with a c-statistic of 0.74. ESS also accurately predicted which patients required ICU admission (c-statistic 0.80). CONCLUSIONS This is the first prospective multicenter study to validate ESS as an accurate predictor of outcome in the EL patient. ESS can prove useful for 1) perioperative patient and family counseling, 2) triaging patients to the ICU and 3) benchmarking the quality of EGS care. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Prognostic study, level III.INTRODUCTION Pelvic trauma has emerged as one of the most severe injuries to be sustained by the victim of a blast insult. The incidence and mortality due to blast-related pelvic trauma is not known, and no data exist to assess the relative risk of clinical or radiological indicators of mortality. METHOD The UK Joint Theatre Trauma Registry was interrogated to identify those sustaining blast-mediated pelvic fractures during the conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan, from 2003 to 2014, with subsequent Computed Tomography image analysis. Casualties that sustained more severe injuries remote to the pelvis were excluded. RESULTS 159 casualties with a 36% overall mortality rate were identified. Pelvic vascular injury, unstable pelvic fracture patterns, traumatic amputation, and perineal injury were higher in the dismounted fatality group (p less then 0.05). All fatalities sustained a pelvic vascular injury. Pelvic vascular injury had the highest relative risk of death for any individual injury and an associated mortal a reduced injury burden. LEVEL O
