Ninety\u2010three percent and 52% were AFAST positive for peritoneal fluid, respectively. The AFAST\u2010positive view frequency for right lateral recumbency in juveniles was diaphragmatico\u2010hepatic (DH) 100%, spleno\u2010renal (SR) 20%, cysto\u2010colic (CC) 40%, and hepato\u2010renal (HR) 20% versus adults, DH 60%, SR 20%, CC 0%, and HR 0%, respectively. The AFAST\u2010positive view frequency for left lateral recumbency was DH 93%, SR 44%, CC 24%, and HR 12% in juveniles, and DH 50%, SR 3%, CC 3%, and HR 10% in adults. Overall abdominal fluid scores (AFS) in juvenilles were 0 (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a03), 1 (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a014), 2 (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a022), 3 (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a06), and 4 (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a01); and in adults, scores were 0 (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a022), 1 (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a018), 2 (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a06), and 3 and 4 (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a00). The AFS differed between adults and juveniles (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u00a0&lt;\u00a00.001).
