Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The primary objective of this database is to identify optimal diagnostic and therapeutic strategies for paediatric blunt abdominal trauma. This includes evaluating the clinical yield of abdominal imaging and assessing indications for operative and non-operative management. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary objectives are to examine centre variation in imaging strategies (CT, MRI and ultrasound), ICU admission practices, interventional and conservative management approaches, and organ-specific outcomes and complications. In addition, the registry aims to generate data to support the evaluation and potential validation of clinical prediction models and could form the basis for evidence-based consensus and future guideline development. The ABCD database facilitates both multicentre and single-centre studies, and enables detailed organ-specific analyses. | — |
