PY - 2017 T2 - Comprehensive Pediatric Hospital Medicine, 2e AB - Abdominal pain is one of the most common complaints encountered by pediatric hospitalists. Despite this, the evaluation is often exceedingly difficult, and in many cases no definitive diagnosis can be made. The most urgent matter for the hospitalist initially is to rule out a life-threatening surgical emergency. If an acute abdomen is suspected based on history and physical, prompt surgical consultation is imperative.
