In a retrospective study of abdominal CT scans from 65 previously healthy infants aged 3 months or younger undergoing trauma evaluation, CT evidence of hepatic steatosis was found in approximately one-quarter of infants.
This retrospective single-center cohort study assessed the prevalence of hepatic steatosis on contrast-enhanced abdominal CT scans in 65 previously healthy infants aged 3 months or younger who underwent imaging for trauma investigation between 2009 and 2019. Using LB101 criteria, 28% of infants had imaging findings consistent with steatosis. Infants with steatosis had significantly lower median ALT levels compared to those without steatosis (P = 0.018). Prevalence did not differ significantly across age groups.
