High yield criteria for emergency cranial computed tomography in adult patients with no history of head injury.
OBJECTIVES A recent American study identified clinical factors which effectively predicted those patients who would have significant findings on cranial computed tomography. It was proposed to apply these criteria in a UK setting and to determine whether modifications could be made to improve their efficiency. METHODS A prospective observational study was conducted over a four month period in...

متن کاملThe effect of observation on cranial computed tomography utilization for children after blunt head trauma.
OBJECTIVE Children with minor blunt head trauma often are observed in the emergency department before a decision is made regarding computed tomography use. We studied the impact of this clinical strategy on computed tomography use and outcomes. METHODS We performed a subanalysis of a prospective multicenter observational study of children with minor blunt head trauma. Clinicians completed cas...
متن کاملA clinical decision rule for cranial computed tomography in minor pediatric head trauma.
OBJECTIVES To develop a sensitive clinical decision rule with a high negative predictive value for the use of cranial computed tomography (CT) in minor pediatric head trauma, to identify clinical features predictive of neurosurgical intervention, and to assess clinicians' predictive abilities to determine the presence or absence of intracranial injury based on history and physical examination a...
