Pain, Pattern and Polytrauma - Predictors of Sexual Dysfunction in Pelvic Fractures: A Retrospective Multicenter Analysis.

Objectives: In the local and cultural setting of high trauma rates and a reserved outlook on sexual function, this study examines the incidence and underlying factors of sexual dysfunction (SD) following pelvic fractures.

Methods: A Multi-center retrospective cohort analysis performed in two general hospitals and one tertiary orthopedic center with collection between 2017 and 2019. Consecutive patients with pelvic fractures between January 2017 and February 2019 were followed up at 18-24 months to screen for new-onset SD using the International Index of Erectile Function-5 (IIEF-5) and Female-Sexual-Function-Index-6 (FSFI-6).
