- Abstract
The article provides information on a study which systematically assessed the precision and accuracy of symptoms, signs, laboratory tests and bedside imaging studies to identify intra-abdominal injuries in patients with blunt abdominal trauma. The study identified English-language studies examining the identification of intra-abdominal injuries through conducting a structured search of Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online (MEDLINE) and EMBASE. The study also examined studies evaluating bedside ultrasonography through a separate, structure search.
