Management of the open abdomen: A systematic review with meta-analysis and practice management guideline from the Eastern Association for the Surgery of Trauma
CONCLUSION We conditionally recommend the use of a fascial traction system over routine care when treating a patient with an OA after DCL. This recommendation is based on the benefit of improved primary myofascial closure without worsening mortality or enterocutaneous fistula formation. We are unable to make any recommendations regarding techniques to reduce visceral edema. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis; Level IV.

“The armor phenomenon” in obese patients with penetrating thoracoabdominal injuries: A systematic review and meta-analysis
CONCLUSION The “armor phenomenon” does not truly protect obese patients, a population that experiences increased morbidity and mortality following penetrating thoracoabdominal injuries.

The physiology of failure: Identifying risk factors for mortality in emergency general surgery patients using a regional health system integrated electronic medical record
CONCLUSION After controlling for patient and disease characteristics available in administrative databases, clinical variables remained significantly associated with mortality. This novel yet simple process allows for easy identification of clinical data points imperative to the study of EGS diagnoses that are critical in understanding factors that impact mortality.

Association of trauma severity with antibody seroconversion in heparin-induced thrombocytopenia: A multicenter, prospective, observational study
CONCLUSION Development of HIT antibodies was observed commonly in severely injured trauma patients. Heparin-induced thrombocytopenia antibody development may be related to trauma severity, with a high disappearance frequency on day 30. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Therapeutic/Care Management; Level III.

Surgical exploration for stable patients with penetrating cardiac box injuries: When and how? A cohort of 155 patients from Marseille area
CONCLUSION Extended fast assessment with sonography for trauma and chest tube flow are the cornerstones of the management of stable PCBI. Video-assisted thoracoscopy represents an interesting approach to check intrathoracic wounds while minimizing surgical morbidity. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Therapeutic/Care Management; Level IV.

Individual and neighborhood level characteristics of pediatric firearm injuries presenting at trauma centers in Colorado
BACKGROUND Firearm injuries are the second leading cause of death among children and adolescents in the United States. In Colorado, firearm injuries have surpassed motor vehicle accidents as the leading cause of death in youth. Local research is necessary to characterize risk factors associated with pediatric firearm injuries. We sought to categorize demographics, neighborhood characteristics, and trends in pediatric firearm injuries in Colorado. METHODS A review of pediatric firearm-injured patients (18 years or younger) evaluated at four trauma centers in Colorado from 2008 to 2019 was conducted. Clinical info...

Urine leaks in children sustaining blunt renal trauma
BACKGROUND Few consensus statements exist to guide the timely diagnosis and management of urine leaks in children sustaining blunt renal trauma (BRT). The aims of this study were to characterize kidney injuries among children who sustain BRT, evaluate risk factors for urine leaks, and describe the negative impact of urinoma on patient outcomes and resource consumption. METHODS A retrospective review was performed of 347 patients, younger than 19 years, who presented with BRT to a single American College of Surgeons–verified Level I Pediatric Trauma Center between 2005 and 2020. Frequency of and risk factors fo...

Developing a National Trauma Research Action Plan: Results from the injury prevention research gap Delphi survey
CONCLUSION This Delphi gap analysis of injury prevention research identified 169 high priority research questions that will help guide investigators in future injury prevention research. Funding agencies and researchers should consider these gaps when they prioritize future research. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Therepeutic/Care Management; Level IV.
