Abstract | Introduction: Guidelines for blunt liver and spleen injury (BLSI) by the Arizona-Texas-Oklahoma-Memphis-Arkansas Consortium (ATOMAC) emphasize hemodynamic stability over injury grade when considering non-operative management (NOM). In this study, we examined rates of intensive care unit (ICU) admission for children with isolated low-risk BLSI among US hospitals. Methods: The National Trauma Data Bank (NTDB) was queried for patients ages 1-15 admitted between 2017 and 2019 with BLSI. Patients with penetrating injuries and/or concomitant non-abdominal injuries with AIS score ≥3 were excluded. Isolated BLSI was considered low-risk if the patient had normal admission vitals and did not require operative intervention. Primary outcomes measured were ICU admission, ICU length of stay (LOS), and overall LOS. Results: 5777 patients ages 15 and under presented with isolated BLSI during the study period. 2031/5777 (35.2%) were considered low-risk. Low-risk patients had lower rates of ICU admission compared to high-risk patients (30.9% vs. 41.6%, p < 0.001) and had shorter ICU LOS (median 2 days vs. 2, p < 0.001) and shorter overall LOS (median 41 h vs. 54, p < 0.001). Pediatric verified and non-pediatric verified trauma centers had similar rates of ICU admission (36.8% vs. 38.9%, p = 0.11). Conclusion: Further work is needed to capture opportunities for reduction in ICU utilization in isolated BLSI. Level of evidence: III. |
