Does patient age influence procedural management of kidney trauma?

ABSTRACT: We aimed to examine the association between patient age and procedural intervention, especially nephrectomy, in patients with renal trauma in the National Trauma Data Bank (NTDB). We queried the 2013-2020 NTDB for adult renal trauma patients with an American Association for the Surgery of Trauma (AAST) grade. Patients without AAST grade or with no sign of life were excluded. We constructed a multinomial logistic regression model to demonstrate the association between age and procedural interventions (renal angioembolization, renorrhaphy and nephrectomy). Models were adjusted for patient, hospital, and clinical factors. Our cohort was comprised of 49,884 patients with renal trauma aged 18-89 years, of which 691 (1.4%), 995 (1.9%), and 3,366 (6.8%) underwent angioembolization, renorrhaphy, a
