RESUMO

Backgrounds/Aims: Traumatic pancreatic injury (TPI) is rare as an isolated injury. There is a trend to perform conservative treatment even in patients with complete duct dissection and successful treatment. This study reviewed our 20 years of experience in the management of TPI and assessed patient outcomes according to age group and treatment strategy. Methods: A retrospective analysis of patients diagnosed and treated with TPI at a level-I trauma center from 2000-2019. Patients were divided into two groups: adults and pediatrics. Conservative treatment cases were subjected to subgroup analysis. Level of evidence: IV. Results: Of a total of 77 patients, the mean age was 24.89 ± 15.88 years. Fifty-six (72.7%) patients had blunt trauma with motor vehicle accident. Blunt trauma was the predominant mechanism in 42 (54.5%) patients. Overall, 38 (49.4%) cases had grade I or II injury, 24 (31.2%) had grade III injury, and 15 (19.5%) had grade IV injury. A total of 30 cases had non-operative management (NOM). Successful NOM was observed in 16 (20.8%) cases, including eight (32.0%) pediatric cases and eight (15.4%) adult cases. Higher American association for the surgery of trauma (AAST) grade of injury was associated with NOM failure (16.7% for grade I/II, 100% for grade III, and 66.7% for grade IV injury; p = 0.001). An independent factor for NOM failure was female sex (69.2% in females vs. 29.4% in males; p = 0.03). Conclusions: High AAST grade TPI is associated with a high rate of NOM failure in both pediatric and adults.

RESUMO

Liver transplantation during the COVID-19 pandemic is challenging. Both donor and recipient issues can be influenced by the risks attributed to the pandemic. Allocation policy may need to be modified and criteria may be influenced by local infection rates and availability of medical facilities. Modifying immunosuppression (IS) protocols is controversial and is not evidence-based. In this study, we review the published literature on liver transplant recipients who were infected with COVID-19. A literature review was performed using PubMed, ScienceDirect, and WHO databases to identify relevant English-language articles published up to May 20, 2020. Fifteen articles reported 120 liver transplant recipients who were infected with COVID-19. Only 10 papers with 22 patients reported full encounter characteristics. Four papers reported 23, 17, 13, and 6 patients, respectively, but with minimal data. One paper reported the authors' own 39 patients' characteristics and demographics. The mean age was 58.2 years with 66% males. The most commonly reported presentations in descending order were fever (91%), cough (36.7%), shortness of breath (SOB) (31.8%), and diarrhea (31.8%). Liver transplant patients infected with COVID-19 were maintained on Tac (79%), mycophenolate (MMF) (48.4%), and Prednisone (29.6%) and were managed by reducing MMF in 14.3% of patients and reducing Tac in 14.3% of patients; 28.6% of patients needed ICU admission, 13.6% of patients had died, and the reported general population COVID-19 mortality rate was 3.4%. The clinical presentation of COVID-19 in liver transplant recipients may be different from the general population, with higher rates of severe disease, complications, and mortality.
