Contemporary epidemiologic overview of adult liver trauma management across the United States: Analysis of the American College of Surgeons Trauma Quality Improvement Program database

CONCLUSION: Liver trauma remains a major public health burden with mortality approaching 66% among severely injured patients, and current management shows significant nationwide variability. Blunt liver trauma is primarily being managed nonoperatively, and angioembolization is assuming a growing role. Very few patients who were transferred to greater levels of care required operative intervention, having implications for resource allocation.
