Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to analyze the 30-day mortality rate after renal trauma and determine factors that contribute to mortality, using data from 1,799 patients across 17 hospitals in France from 2005 to 2015.
- - The findings revealed a 30-day mortality rate of 3.27%, with only a small percentage of deaths directly attributable to renal trauma; significant risk factors included age over 40, hemodynamic instability, anemia, bilateral renal trauma, arterial contrast extravasation, and concurrent visceral and bone injuries.
- - The study highlights that mortality rates after renal trauma are primarily linked to multiple associated injuries rather than solely from the trauma itself, providing insights that could assist healthcare professionals in identifying patients at higher risk
Background: Some health care systems have set up referral trauma centers to centralize expertise to improve trauma management. There is scant and controversial evidence regarding the impact of provider's volume on the outcomes of trauma management.
Objective: To evaluate the impact of hospital volume on the outcomes of renal trauma management in a European health care system.
The association between acute graft pyelonephritis (AGPN) and graft failure in kidney transplant recipients (KTR) remains controversial. In this single-center observational study, we aimed to assess the incidence of AGPN as a time-dependent posttransplantation event. We also examined the association between the diagnosis of AGPN and graft outcomes.

Objective: To evaluate factors predictive of SAE failure after moderate- to high-grade renal trauma.
Introduction: The aim of this study was to compare observation and early drainage by ureteral stenting in patients with blunt renal trauma and urinary extravasation.
Materials And Methods: A retrospective national multicenter study was performed including all patients admitted for renal trauma at 17 hospitals between 2005 and 2015. Patients presenting with a urinary extravasation on initial imaging were considered for inclusion.
Introduction: The aim of this study was to assess whether early discharge could be non-inferior to inpatient management in selected patients with low-grade renal trauma (AAST grades 1-3).
Materials And Methods: A retrospective national multicenter study was conducted including all patients who presented with renal trauma at 17 hospitals between 2005 and 2015. Exclusion criteria were iatrogenic and AAST grades 4 and 5 trauma, non-conservative initial management, Hb < 10 g/dl or transfusion within the first 24 h, and patients with concomitant injuries.
