In 2018, the American Association for the Surgery of Trauma (AAST) Patient Assessment Committee (PAC) introduced an updated AAST splenic organ injury scale (OIS) for treatment decision making based on a two-stage abdominopelvic CT examination at presentation. While the AAST grading has existed as a research tool for decades, the latest update reflects an attempt to operationalize this grading system for point-of-care use and standardize management practices(7).
