Is higher glucose on admission associated with need for angioembolization in stable pelvic fracture?
In patients with stable pelvic fracture, higher blood glucose level on admission was associated with a higher likelihood of needing angioembolization. Blood glucose level should be checked during the initial survey of a pelvic fracture, and greater attention should be given to patients with higher blood glucose level or with an ISS of 25 or greater, even when the imaging study only reveals a stable pelvic fracture.
Although association was found with rs2710102, the risk allele (a) for the traits studied here is the nonrisk allele for ASD and specific language impairment. These findings suggest a partially shared etiology between ASDs and SM and raise questions about which aspects of these syndromes are potentially influenced by CNTNAP2 and mechanism(s) by which these influences may be conveyed.
