Reducing head computed tomography after mild traumatic brain injury: Screening value of clinical findings and S100B protein levels.

Primary Objective: The present prospective study was performed to investigate whether primary clinical findings and serum S100B concentrations at 3 and 6 hours post-trauma can contribute to the selection of patients for an initial computed tomography (CT) scanning.

Research Design And Methods: S100B was measured in serum samples obtained at 3 and 6 hours after the injury. Adjusted odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) associated with demographics and clinical predictors of positive CT scan were calculated.
