In the article below, we'll cover the essential aspects of the PECARN head trauma algorithm and discuss all the patient's evaluation's important details. We try our best to make our Omni Calculators as precise and reliable as possible. However, this tool can never replace a professional doct...
In Japan, there are no clinical decision rules for children with minor head trauma. The rate of head CT for children with minor head trauma in Japan is high since CT is widely accessible across the country. The objective of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of the PECARN ...

Topics discussed include rules developed for children younger than two years and the other for those two years and older; PECARN TBI rules depend on accurate patient and parent history; and clinical prediction rules for abusive head trauma do not use subjective factors to identify patients....
Retrospective cohort study on pediatric patients with head trauma presenting to the PED of the American University of Beirut Medical Center in Lebanon. Participants were divided into pre- (December 2012 to December 2013) and post-PECARN (January 2014 to December 2016) groups. Patients were further...
Minor head trauma is a common cause for pediatric emergency department visits. In 2009, the Pediatric Emergency Care Applied Research Network (PECARN) published a clinical prediction rule for identifying children at very low risk of clinically important traumatic brain injuries (ciTBI) and for ...
Aim Head trauma is a leading cause of emergency department visits in children, with an annual incidence of 1.850 per 100.000. Computed tomography (CT) scans are the standard for diagnosing head trauma but involve risks like sedation, radiation exposure, and high c...
