Popis: Shock index-pediatric age-adjusted (SIPA) is a proven tool to predict outcomes in blunt pediatric trauma. We hypothesized that an elevated SIPA in either the pre-hospital or in the emergency department (ED) would identify children with blunt liver or spleen injury (BLSI) needing a blood transfusion and those at risk for failure of non-operative management (NOM).Pediatric patients (1-18 years) in the ACS pediatric-TQIP database (2014-2016) with a BLSI were included. Patients were stratified by the need for a blood transfusion and/or abdominal operation.A total of 3561 patients had BLSI, of which 4% received a blood transfusion, and 4% underwent an abdominal operation. Patients who received blood had higher ISS scores (27.0 vs. 5.0, p 0.001) and mortality (22% vs. 0.4%, p 0.001). Those who failed NOM had higher ISS scores (17.0 vs. 5.0, p 0.001) and mortality (7.9% vs. 0.9%, p 0.001). On multivariable regression, an elevated SIPA score in either pre-hospital or ED was significantly associated with blood transfusion (odds ratio (OR) 8.2, 95% confidence intervals (CI) 5.8-11.5, p 0.001) and failure of NOM (OR 2.3, CI 1.5-3.4, p 0.001).Hemodynamic instability, represented by an elevated pre-hospital or ED SIPA, accurately identifies children with BLSI who may need blood products or an operative intervention.Retrospective Comparative Study.Level III.
