Résumé
This is a validation of a preplanned secondary analysis of the NEXUS II Head computed tomography (CT) decision instrument, focusing on the pediatric population. A total of 1,018 patients less than 18 years old, who underwent head CT imaging for blunt head trauma, were included. The decision instrument correctly identified all patient (27/27) who required neurosurgical intervention and 48 of 49 patients who had clinically significant head injury on CT imaging.
