Mesenteric Ischemia
- Validation of the American Association for the Surgery of Trauma grading system for acute mesenteric ischemia-More than anatomic severity is needed to determine risk of mortality.
- Sindall ME, Davenport DL, Wallace P, Bernard AC.
- J Trauma 2020 May;88(5):671-676.
-
Rationale for Inclusion: This study evaluating the correlation between the AAST grading scale for AMI and complication severity found that CT, pathology and clinical grades did not correlate with mortality or outcome severity.
