National trends in pediatric blunt spleen and liver injury management and potential benefits of an abbreviated bed rest protocol
Purpose Recent reports suggest that an abbreviated bed rest protocol (ABRP) may safely
reduce length of stay (LOS) and resource utilization in pediatric blunt spleen and liver injury
(BSLI) patients. This study evaluates national temporal trends in BLSI management and
estimates national reduction in LOS using an ABRP. Methods Pediatric patients (< 18 years
old) sustaining BLSI were identified in the Kids' Inpatient Database from 2000 to 2009.
Yearly rates of injury and operative intervention were examined and stratified by type of …
