Understanding the experiences of these women can inform health policy and decision-making in clinical practice to minimize IPV.</p><p><strong>Inclusion criteria: </strong>This review considered studies that included women of African descent, aged 16 years or older, who migrated from any of the 54 countries in the African continent to a developed country and who experienced IPV.

Historical management practices involved splenectomy, but more recent evidence suggests an increased risk of severe infections and sepsis associated with this approach. Accordingly, nonoperative management strategies, including prophylactic splenic artery embolization and clinical observation, have gained prominence. This systematic review with meta-analysis directly compared angioembolization with clinical observation for high-grade splenic injuries only, aiming to provide clarity on this matter amid ongoing debates and variations in clinical practice.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Inclusion criteria: &lt;/strong&gt;This review included adult patients aged 15 years or older with high-grade splenic injuries (grades 3-5) due to blunt trauma.
