Abstract
BACKGROUND: There is no consensus when the designation of nonoperative management (NOM) for splenic injury (BSI) should start. We evaluated NOM success rates based on different time points after admission. METHODS: The National Trauma Data Bank was evaluated for BSI for the year 2008. Observations were evaluated by facility, the time to splenectomy, and the volume of BSI admissions. RESULTS: Of 15,732 BSIs identified, the overall splenectomy salvage rate was 81%. After the 5th hour, the NOM success rate was 95%. Multivariable analysis revealed that higher BSI grades, level 2 centers and community hospitals, and age ≥55 were associated with failed NOM. CONCLUSIONS: The grade of injury is an important predictor for failure of NOM. If a 5% failure rate is to be considered a benchmark, then the 5-hour time point after admission should be used for the calculation of NOM success rates.
