Minor Head Trauma in Children Younger Than 3 Months and Clinical Predictors of Clinically Important Traumatic Brain Injuries.

Objectives: Major studies have defined clinical rules to regulate the use of computed tomography in children after head trauma. Infants younger than 3 months are considered at higher risk of brain injuries than older children and at the same time at higher risk of radiation-induced damage. Hence, it would be desirable to have clinical decision rules more adapted to this subset of patients.
