BACKGROUND
Treatment of blunt splenic injury has changed over the past decades. Nonoperative management (NOM) is the treatment of choice. Adequate patient selection is a prerequisite for successful NOM.

We hypothesized that impaired mental status does not affect outcome in patients with splenic trauma.
