Background: This study aims to assess the impact of pre-injury anticoagulant use on outcomes of isolated blunt abdominal SOI patients who underwent NOM.
Methods: A 1-year(2017) analysis of the ACS-TQIP. We included all ≥18yrs trauma patients with isolated blunt abdominal-SOI who underwent NOM. Patients were stratified into two groups based on their history of pre-injury anticoagulant use. Propensity score matching was performed.
Results: A matched cohort of 2709 patients (AC, 903; No-AC,1806) was analyzed. Compared to the No-AC group, the AC group had higher rates of failure of NOM(2.6% vs. 4.5%, p = 0.03), cardiac arrest (1.2%vs. 3.1%, p = 0.02), acute kidney injury (2.4% vs. 4.2%, p < 0.01), myocardial infarction (0.6% vs. 1.4%,p = 0.03), and mortality (5.1%vs. 7.6%,p = 0.01), and longer hospital LOS (17[10-24]vs.17[12-26]days,p = 0.04) and ICU LOS (11[6-17]vs.11[7-18]days,p = 0.01).
Conclusion: Among nonoperatively managed blunt abdominal SOI patients, preinjury use of anticoagulants negatively impacts outcomes. Extra surveillance is required while managing patients with blunt abdominal SOI on pre-injury anticoagulants.

Incidental Findings on Computed Tomography in Children With Blunt Abdominal Trauma.
Ann Emerg Med
January 2025
Department of Emergency Medicine, UC Davis School of Medicine, Sacramento, CA.
Study Objective: Nontraumatic, incidental findings on computed tomography (CT) may be discovered after blunt abdominal trauma in children; however, the rate and importance of these findings are not well known. The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence and types of incidental CT findings among injured children undergoing abdominal/pelvic CT.
Methods: This was a planned secondary analysis of a multicenter prospective cohort study of children (<18 years) who underwent abdominal/pelvic CT after blunt trauma.
High-grade liver injury: outcomes with a trauma surgery-liver surgery collaborative approach.
Trauma Surg Acute Care Open
January 2025
Surgery, University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA.
Background: Operative mortality for high-grade liver injury (HGLI) remains 42% to 66%, with near-universal mortality after retrohepatic caval injury. The objective of this study was to evaluate mortality and complications of operative and nonoperative management (OM and NOM) of HGLI at our institution, characterized by a trauma surgery-liver surgery collaborative approach to trauma care.
Methods: This was an observational cohort study of adult patients (age ≥16) with HGLI (The American Association for Surgery of Trauma (AAST) grades IV and V) admitted to an urban level I trauma center from January 2010 to November 2021.

Department of Neurosurgery, Center for Neuroscience and Spine, Virginia Mason Medical Center, Seattle, Washington.
Background: Prone transpsoas lumbar interbody fusion (PTP) is a newer technique to treat various spinal disc pathologies. PTP is a variation of lateral lumbar interbody fusion (LLIF) that is performed with the patient prone rather than in the lateral decubitus position. This approach offers similar benefits of lateral spinal surgery, which include less blood loss, shorter hospital stay, and quicker recovery compared with traditional open spine surgery.
