Perinephric Hematoma Size is Independently Associated with the Need for Urological Intervention in Multisystem Blunt Renal Trauma

Abstract

Although AAST-OIS is strongly associated with the need for urological intervention, perinephric hematoma size is also independently associated with this occurrence. Perinephric hematoma diameter should be considered during clinical decision making and incorporated into a revised injury grading system.
