Purpose: To prospectively and externally validate published national and international
guidelines for the indications of computed tomography (CT) in patients with a minor head …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Functional outcome in patients with minor head injury with
neurocranial traumatic findings on CT is largely unknown. We hypothesized that certain CT …

Objective To externally validate four commonly used rules in computed tomography (CT) for
minor head injury. Design Prospective, multicentre cohort study. Setting Three university and …

Abstract The Scandinavian Guidelines for Initial Management of Minimal, Mild, and
Moderate Head Injuries in Adults (Scandinavian guidelines) are the first to incorporate …

Background: There are many clinical decision rules for adults with minor head injury, but it is
unclear how they compare in terms of diagnostic accuracy. This study aimed to …

Study objective: To determine the prevalence of abnormal computed tomography (CT) scans
and define high-risk clinical variables in patients with mild head injury. Design …

ContextTwo decision rules for indications of computed tomography (CT) in patients with
minor head injury, the Canadian CT Head Rule (CCHR) and the New Orleans Criteria …

Background: Computed tomographic (CT) head scanning of blunt trauma patients is
expensive, delays care, and necessitates radiation exposure, while detecting intracranial …

Purpose To compare the cost-effectiveness of using selective computed tomographic (CT)
strategies with that of performing CT in all patients with minor head injury (MHI). Materials …

Background The management of minimal, mild and moderate head injuries is still
controversial. In 2000, the Scandinavian Neurotrauma Committee (SNC) presented …
