Canadian C-Spine Rule The Canadian C-Spine Rules (CCR) is an assessment tool used to rule out cervical spine injury in low-risk patients, obviating the need for radiography. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6] Step 1 Is there any high-risk factor that mandates radiography? These include the ...

Therefore, the aim of the present study was to compare the accuracy of the Canadian C-spine and NEXUS criteria in ruling out clinically important cervical spine injuries in trauma patients. Finally, we introduced the modified Canadian C-spine rule. Methods: A prospective diagnostic accuracy study ...
Background: The Canadian C-Spine (cervical-spine) Rule (CCR) and the National Emergency X-Radiography Utilization Study (NEXUS) Low-Risk Criteria (NLC) are decision rules to guide the use of cervical-spine radiography in patients with trauma. It is unclear how the two decision rules compare ...

The respective areas under the ROC curve for predicting cervical spine injury were 0.85 (95% CI 0.80 to 0.89) for physician judgment and 0.91 (95% CI 0.89 to 0.92) for the Canadian C-Spine rule ( P<.05). With a threshold of 0% predicted probability of injury, the respective indices ...
