ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
The relevance of pancreatic trauma in severely injured patients within a large collective has not been thoroughly analyzed yet. This study aimed at assessing the prevalence of pancreatic trauma in relation to the outcome and the currently established algorithm of treatment.METHODS:
Some 51,425 patients from the Trauma Register of the German Society of Trauma Surgery (TR DGU) (1993-2009) were retrospectively analyzed. All patients with an "injury severity score" ≥16, direct admission to a trauma center and subsequent treatment for at least 3 days, age ≥16, and an abdominal injury [abbreviated injury scale (AIS)(abdomen) ≥2] were included. Patients with abdominal trauma (AIS(abdomen) ≥2) were compared with patients with an additional pancreatic trauma (AIS(pancreas) 2-5).RESULTS:
Of 51,425 patients, 9,268 (18%) had documented abdominal injuries. Two hundred eighty-four (3.1%) patients with abdominal injury additionally showed a pancreatic injury (AIS(abdomen) ≥2, AIS(pancreas) 2-5) and were analyzed in dependency of the classification of the American Association for the Surgery of Trauma (AAST) organ severity score. AAST-pancreas II°, 1.9%; III°, 0.6%; IV°, 0.3%; and V°, 0.2%. Patients with leading pancreatic injury (grades IV and V) thereby showed a significant increase of mortality (IV°, 30.0% and V°, 33.3%) and an increase of the need for surgical intervention (IV°, 80.6% and V° 81.8%).CONCLUSIONS:
The results presented here show the prevalence and the outcome of pancreas injury in a large collective within the TR DGU for the first time. Based on the current literature and the findings, a treatment algorithm has been developed.
