The abdomen does not lie, but the labs might: Predictors of intra-abdominal injury on computed tomography imaging in pediatric blunt trauma patients.

J Trauma Acute Care Surg

January 2025

From the Division of Trauma, Critical Care, Emergency Surgery, and Burns, Department of Surgery, College of Medicine, University of Arizona, Tucson, Arizona.

Article Synopsis
  • This study reviews predictors of intra-abdominal injury in pediatric patients with blunt abdominal trauma using data from a Level II trauma center from 2018 to 2022.
  • It found that while various clinical signs and laboratory results were present, a significant number of patients with intra-abdominal injuries (IAI) did not show abnormal lab results, highlighting the complexity in diagnosis.
  • Key independent predictors for IAI included abdominal tenderness, abnormal plain x-rays, and positive ultrasound, suggesting that physical exams and imaging are critical in decision-making for CT scans, rather than relying solely on lab results.

National Clinical Research Center for Child Health and Disorders, Ministry of Education Key Laboratory of Child Development and Disorders, Chongqing Key Laboratory of Structural Birth Defect and Reconstruction, Department of Urology Children's Hospital of Chongqing Medical University, 136 Zhongshan Road, Chongqing, 400014, China.

Objective: To compare the clinical outcomes of ultrasonography-guided aspiration and sclerotherapy and laparoscopic deroofing for the treatment of simple renal cysts in children, providing evidence for clinical decision-making in the management of pediatric renal cysts.

Methods: A total of 49 patients with simple renal cysts were divided into two groups based on the treatment method: 29 patients (group 1) underwent laparoscopic deroofing, 20 patients (group 2) underwent ultrasonography-guided aspiration and sclerotherapy. The clinical efficacy differences between the two groups were compared.
