Current trauma team activation (TTA) criteria include mechanisms of injury and physiological parameters, which reflect younger, rather than older adult trauma presentations. As a result, TTA criteria do not consistently identify older patients with pelvic fractures. Older patients with pelvic fractures who do not have a TTA had worse outcomes than those who received TTA. This requires further investigation in a larger multicentre cohort.
