Conservative management of pediatric patients with solid organ injury after blunt abdominal trauma. Consensus sponsored by the Spanish Society of Pediatric Surgery

Abstract

The treatment of choice in pediatrics for solid organ injuries resulting from blunt abdominal trauma is conservative management. However, in Spain, said management has proven to be heterogeneous and inconsistent with recent evidence. The Spanish Society of Pediatric Surgery (SECP) sponsored the development of this consensus document in the year 2024.After recruiting a group of experts, a bibliographic review was conducted using the systematic reviews from APSA, the ATOMAC group, and contributions from the experts themselves, to draft a series of initial suggestions. The experts, using the Delphi method, scored these (Likert scale) in different voting rounds until statistical stability in the responses was determined (Wilcoxon Test). Consensus was defined as agreement (scores 4-5) exceeding 70%.Twelve experts from 11 centers were recruited, achieving gender parity. Seventeen suggestions were developed, organized into four key areas: PICU admission, discharge criteria and strict bed rest, analytical/radiological controls, and physical activity restriction. Statistical stability was reached after 2 scoring rounds, achieving consensus on 15 of the 17 suggestions, while it was not achieved regarding hospital discharge criteria and duration of strict bed rest.Through Delphi methodology, a consensus document on the conservative management of solid organ injuries was developed. Although consensus was not reached on key aspects such as discharge criteria and strict bed rest, this document aims to help homogenize clinical practice.
