Fig. 1 Risk estimates of ciTBI in children <2 years (A) or 2–18 years (B) with minor blunt head trauma based on 1 or 2 PECARN variables. a Aggregate data for all patients less than 18 years of age. CI, confidence interval; GCS, Glasgow Coma Scale. Emergency Medicine Clinics 2018 36, 287-304DOI: (10.1016/j.emc.2017.12.015) Copyright © 2018 The Author Terms and Conditions
Fig. 2 Head CT Choice clinical decision aids for children with minor blunt head trauma. Decision aids are utilized for knowledge transfer and patient/caregiver preference identification in the process of shared decision making. Examples provided are for ciTBI risk estimates of 1 in 100 and 2 in 1000. a This information may not apply to young children who are not yet able to walk or talk. b Some symptoms may not apply to young children who are not yet able to walk or talk. CT, computed tomography. (From Hess EP, Wyatt KD, Kharbanda AB, et al.
