Trauma is a leading cause of death in the 1-44 age group. In our study, the most common cause is road traffic accidents followed by stab wounds and falls from height. Blunt abdominal trauma accounted for 79% of the cases. The spleen and liver were the most common organs involved in blunt abdominal trauma. Clinical assessment of blunt abdominal trauma is unreliable. The diagnostic peritoneal lavage is a useful triage tool in the initial assessment.
创伤是1至44岁年龄组死亡的主要原因。在我们的研究中，最常见的原因是道路交通事故，其次是刺伤和高处坠落。钝性腹部创伤占病例的79%。脾脏和肝脏是钝性腹部创伤中最常受累的器官。钝性腹部创伤的临床评估不可靠。诊断性腹腔灌洗是初始评估中一种有用的分诊工具。
