Retrospective Single Centre Study Which Investigates the Safety of the Non-Operative Management of Patients With High Grade Blunt Liver Injuries (NOMLI) and the Impact of to the LI Collateral Intra- and Extra-Abdominal Damage on Interventions and Outcome
In Brief
An observational study for Liver Injury. Completed, enrolled 183 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Little is known about the role of collateral damage in patients with high grade liver injuries (LI). This retrospective single centre study investigates the safety of the non-operative management of patients with high grade blunt liver injuries (NOMLI) and the impact of to the LI collateral intra- and extra-abdominal damage on interventions and outcome. We first hypothesized that NOMLI can be safely achieved also in high-grade liver injured patients, the management of trauma patients with LI mainly consist of the treatment of collateral damages and their complications, and causes of death are in the majority of cases not liver related. A retrospective study involving 183 patients with blunt hepatic injuries was therefore carried out to investigate these hypotheses.
