Blunt Splenic Injury: Use of a Multidetector CT–based Splenic Injury Grading System and Clinical Parameters for Triage of Patients at Admission

In this study, most of the clinical parameters that were used as variables for treatment decision making typically were available when patients with blunt splenic injury were admitted, and the CT grading scale score was significantly (P < .0001) better than all clinical parameters except the abdominal abbreviated injury scale score to help determine the most effective treatment.
