Point-of-care ultrasound diagnosis of skull fracture in Chinese children 0-6 years old with scalp hematoma from minor head trauma: A preliminary prospective observational study.

Background: Previous studies have suggested that point-of-care ultrasound could help to evaluate and diagnose pediatric skull fracture for the closed scalp hematoma from blunt trauma. However, relevant data in Chinese children are missing, especially in children 0-6 years old.

Objectives: Our study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of point-of-care ultrasound to diagnose skull fracture in children 0-6 years old with scalp hematoma in China.
