Splenic embolisation decisions in trauma
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study reviews past medical records and CT scans of people who had a splenic injury between 2016 and 2020. It aims to understand how decisions about treating the spleen were made.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study looks at how to make a better decision tool for when to order a CT scan of the belly and pelvis after a blunt injury in the emergency department. It aims to help clinicians choose the right patients for imaging during the first evaluation.
This study looks at whether doing a whole-body CT scan in the emergency room can help identify adults who are at low risk after a road accident or fall. It may help doctors decide who can be managed with less intensive testing or monitoring.
This study is looking at how the brain, bone marrow, and gut interact after a severe injury. It may help doctors understand how to better treat trauma patients.
This trial looks at what happens after surgery to remove the spleen in people who also have major cancer surgery through the belly. It may help reduce or better manage serious infections after this kind of operation.
This trial is for adults who have had a CT-confirmed injury to the spleen, liver, and/or kidney from blunt or penetrating trauma. The goal is to study this type of injury and compare how patients do after treatment.
This study collects the spleen and blood from people having surgery to remove their spleen. By studying these samples, researchers hope to learn more about how the spleen works and what happens when it doesn't function properly.
