variation in practice with respect to ct of the child with minor head trauma persists. clinical decision rules seek to reduce variability in medical management by providing evidence-derived guidelines for clinical care, improving the overall efficacy of health care. the canadian ct head rule was ...
Researchers prospectively compared and externally validated three clinical decision rules aimed at reducing avoidable CT: PECARN (Pediatric Emergency Care Applied Research Network), CATCH (Canadian Assessment of Tomography for Childhood Head Injury), and CHALICE (Children's Head Injury Algorithm for the ...

For instance, head circumference measurement is particularly important for congenital cataracts, as some syndromes, like trisomy 21 and Hallermann-Streiff-Francois, Lowe's oculocerebrorenal, Cri-du-chat (5p deletion), Nance-Horan, and Edward syndromes, can manifest with both cataracts and abnormal he...

Network (PECARN), the children’s head injury algorithm for the prediction of important clinical events (CHALICE), and Canadian Assessment of Tomography for Childhood Head injury (CATCH) are three of the most well-known studies of clinical decision rules for head trauma in pediatric groups [4,...
No matter where you work, you should apply clinical decision rules with an imaging algorithm for anybody with suspected cervical spine injuries. Now in grown ups, you’re probably familiar with the Canadian C spine rule. It’s a highly sensitive rule that is designed to prevent missing ...
Children's unique anatomical features (large head size and highly flexible spine) predispose them to such a peculiar presentation. The role of National Emergency X-Ray Utilization Study, United State (NEXUS) and Canadian Cervical Spine Rule criteria in excluding pediatric cervical injury is ...
Consecutive patients with blunt head trauma were enrolled between 2006 and 2015. Demographics and criteria from 2 clinical decision instruments (NEXUS and Canadian Head CT rules) were gathered at the time of enrollment. We abstracted and cataloged injuries for pediatric patients based on radiologist ...
