OBJECTIVES
This study aimed to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of Focused Assessment with Sonography for Trauma (FAST) in detecting renal injuries compared to computed tomography (CT) as the gold standard.
METHODOLOGY
This cross-sectional study was conducted from 2022 to 2023 at the Department of Radiology, Khyber Teaching Hospital, Peshawar. The sample size was 139. The sonographic examination and computed tomography were performed.
RESULTS
The mean age was 38 years ± 13.81. 100(72%) patients were male while 39(28%) were female. FAST had a sensitivity of 85%, specificity of 57.14%, positive predictive value of 97.42%, negative predictive value of 16.66%, and diagnostic accuracy of 83.61%.
CONCLUSION
FAST has reasonable sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy for detecting free fluid in traumatic renal injury patients.
