5%) for pneumatosis (Kappa = 0.29; 95% CI 0.10-0.48), 79/96 (82.3%) for portal venous gas (Kappa = 0.07, 95% CI 0.00-0.47) and 91/96 (94.8%) for pneumoperitoneum (Kappa = 0.52, 95% CI 0.11-0.93). Each finding was present more frequently on AUS than AXR. On AUS, pneumatosis and focal fluid collection were independently associated with a longer antibiotic course (4.1 days longer, p=0.03, and 21.3 days longer, p less then 0.001, respectively).
