Официальное название

The Role of Novel STAR Score in Prediction of Intra-Abdominal Injury in Adult Blunt Abdominal Trauma Patients

Обзор

This study aim To develop and assess the diagnostic accuracy of the novel STAR score, combining point-of-care abdominal ultrasound and laboratory parameters, for early prediction of intra-abdominal injuries in adult blunt abdominal trauma patients, and to compare its performance with current standard clinical assessment methods

Подробное описание

Blunt abdominal Injury(BAI) can cause damage to Internal organs and internal bleeding. The liver, spleen, and Intestine are the most common organs affected by this type of Injury, and due to the Indirect nature of this injury, diagnosis Is difficult and often time-consuming. Although the outcome of patients with blunt abdominal injury has improved in the last two decades, in patients with multiple organ injuries, the In-hospital mortality rate was reported as 3-10% Early recognition of abdominal trauma is critical, as missed or delayed diagnoses are associated with increased mortality. Clinical assessment, including history, inspection, palpation, percussion, and auscultation, forms the cornerstone of evaluation, but may be limited in accuracy, especially in unconscious or intoxicated patients The development of point-of-care imaging techniques, particularly Focused Assessment with Sonography for Trauma (FAST), has greatly enhanced rapid detection of free intraperitoneal fluid in unstable patients. As a non-invasive, bedside procedure Laboratory investigations play an important adjunctive role in the assessment of abdominal trauma

Вмешательства

• Диагностический тест STAR Score
  The STAR (Screening Tool for Abdominal Injury Risk) score will be applied to adult patients with blunt abdominal trauma to predict intra-abdominal injuries. The score will be calculated based on clinical and laboratory parameters collected at presentation

Первичные конечные точки

• Development and validation of a novel ultrasound-laboratory-based scoring system capable of accurately predicting the presence of clinically significant intra-abdominal injury in adult patients with blunt abdominal trauma. [Срок оценки: 7 days of admission]

Критерии участия

Критерии включения

• Adults aged 18 to 60 years with a documented history of blunt abdominal trauma. Presentation within 6 hours of sustaining the injury.

Hemodynamically stable or unstable patients at the time of presentation:

Stable: Normal blood pressure and heart rate, warm extremities, and capillary refill ≤2 seconds Unstable: Systolic blood pressure <90/60 mmHg or a decrease of >30% from baseline systolic pressure, heart rate >100 beats per minute, cold, clammy skin, and capillary refill time >2 seconds..

Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) score of 15/15 on initial assessment.

Критерии исключения

• Patients with penetrating abdominal trauma.History of pre-existing abdominal pathology that may interfere with clinical or sonographic assessment (e.g., ascites, prior major abdominal surgery, known masses).

Pregnant patients. Presence of pre-existing infection or hematuria that may alter laboratory parameters.

Patients undergoing cardiopulmonary resuscitation upon arrival. Mechanically ventilated patients at the time of initial assessment.
