Citation Syntax

error

"Most (>80%) of liver injuries can be treated non-surgically, and blunt trauma relies on haemodynamic stability rather than a grade of injury ^4-5. There is a significant mortality rate of ~8% (range 4.1-11.7%) associated with liver trauma ¹. Complications are reported in ~20% of cases of non-operatively treated liver trauma ⁷:"

Line 75:145 · Citations are separated by commas, except when the range is over 2.

Acronyms

warning

"Most (~80%) of liver injuries are minor (grades I to III - see AAST grading). There are a range of injuries ^ref:"

Line 10:70 · 'AAST' has no definition. Spell it out if it's unfamiliar to the audience.

"Elevated liver transaminases (ALT/AST) are 100% specific and ~93% sensitive in predicting liver injuries ^4,6."

Line 45:34 · 'ALT' has no definition. Spell it out if it's unfamiliar to the audience.

Prefix Hyphens

warning

"chronic haematomas appear as a hypodensity between the liver and its capsule (and can be differentiated from intra-peritoneal haematoma as these distort the liver architecture) or can be intraparenchymal"

Line 51:117 · A prefix takes a hyphen only to avoid a duplicate letter: 'intra-peritoneal'.

Inline EG

suggestion

"The mechanism for liver trauma can be blunt (e.g. motor vehicle collision, fall, direct blow, etc.) or penetrating trauma (e.g. gunshot, stabbing). It can also be iatrogenic (e.g. percutaneous liver biopsy, operative injury)."

Line 8:48 · Consider replacing a bracketed e.g. with an inline e.g. after a comma.

Oxford Comma

suggestion

"If the liver is diffusely hypoattenuating, such as seen in steatosis, lacerations and haematomata may be more subtle to diagnose ⁸. Secondary signs should help."
