Abstract:
Background-Clinical information collected at baseline can be useful in knowing the clinical trends of mild head injury. One of the constraints of managing mild head injury patients is the availability and proper use of computed tomography scans. This clinical trend can be used to identify patients who need imaging after mild head injury. As a sub analysis, we compared the Canadian head computed tomography rule with the New Orleans criteria to select patients who need computed tomography scans for Ethiopian mild head injury patients.
