Contribution of Age and Gender to Outcome of Blunt Splenic Injury in Adults: Multicenter Study of the Eastern Association for the Surgery of Trauma

Abstract: Patients > or = 55 had a greater mortality for all forms of treatment of their blunt splenic injury and failed NOM more frequently than patients < 55. Women > or = 55 had significantly greater mortality and failure of NOM than women < 55.

“…The reported durations of observation after BSI have varied widely in the literature, with most studies reporting mean lengths of stay between 4.1 and 12 days. [6,7] Mean hospital stay among our patients was 12.8 days in the splenectomy group and 8.3 days in the nonoperative group, which is longer than the international average, and may be attributed to the nature of the associated injuries.…”

“…12,13,[39][40][41][42][43][44][45][46][47][48][49] Most studies were retrospective, single-institution studies of relatively small numbers of patients and likely reflected the criteria and practices of individual surgeons. We found 1 well-designed, multi-institutional retrospective cohort study in our literature review that described rates of failure for NOM based on the initial grade of splenic injury and reported the probability of hypotension and transfusion stratified by grade of splenic injury in patients …”

“…This would correspond to grade IV and V splenic injuries. The 2 strategies were equivalent for patients with grade III splenic injuries (probability of failure = 0.2); reasons to perform immediate splenectomy on patients with grade III splenic injuries would include other predictors of failure of NOM, such as age older than 55 years 40,41 and arterial contrast extravasa tion on computed tomography. 57 For military patients who may face prolonged transport from a field hospital to a Role 4 facility outside of the theatre of operations, the risk of bleeding to death while in flight likely pushes the decision-making around grade III splenic injuries to favour immedi ate splenectomy, if there were a concomitant severe brain injury.…”

“…Em um grande estudo multicêntrico realizado nos Estados Unidos, foi identificado que pacientes com idade superior a 55 anos tem uma maior probabilidade de ter complicações associadas à conduta não operatória devido a falta de reservas fisiológicas (STEIN, 2006;PEREIRA JÚNIOR, 2007;HARBRECT et al, 2001) o que ressalta o destaque de tal conduta entre pacientes jovens e, especialmente, os atendidos na pediatria.…”
