BACKGROUND: In previous studies, the diagnostic value of Focused Assessment with Sonography for @entity130 (FAST) has been evaluated but few studies have been performed on the relationship between the amount of free intra-abdominal fluid and organ injury in blunt @entity1661 . To select @entity1 with a higher probability of @entity3511 , several scoring systems have been proposed based on the results of FAST. OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to determine the prognostic value of FAST according to the Huang scoring system and to propose a cut-off point for predicting the presence of @entity3511 on the Computed Tomography (CT) scan. The correlation between age and Glasgow @entity772 Scale (GCS) and the presence of @entity3511 on the CT scan was also assessed. @entity1 AND METHODS: This study was performed on 200 @entity1 with severe blunt @entity1661 who had stable vital signs. For all @entity1 , FAST-ultrasound was performed by a radiologist and the free fluid score in the abdomen was calculated according to the Huang score. Immediately, an intravenous contrast-enhanced abdominal CT scan was performed in all @entity1 and abdominal solid organ injuries were assessed. Results were analyzed using Kruskal-Wallis test, Mann-Whitney test and ROC curves. The correlation between age and GCS and the presence of @entity3511 on CT-scan was also evaluated. RESULTS: The mean age of the @entity1 was 29.6    18.3 years and FAST was positive in 67% of the subjects. A significant correlation was seen between the FAST score and the presence of organ injury on CT scan (P < 0.001). Considering the cut-off point of 3 for the free fluid score (with a range of 0-8), sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value and negative predictive value were calculated to be 0.83, 0.98, 0.93, and 0.95, respectively. Age and GCS showed no significant correlation with @entity3511 . CONCLUSIONS: It seems that FAST examination for intra-abdominal fluid in blunt @entity130 @entity1 can predict @entity3511 with very high sensitivity and specificity. Using the scoring system can more accurately determine the probability of the presence of @entity3511 with a cut-off point of three.
