Summary

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) poses significant strains on the paediatric population, for which the possible side effects of diagnostic imagistics could induce life-altering conditions. Routine inflammatory and metabolic biomarkers (complete blood count, C reactive protein, glucose) are frequently sampled in the paediatric patients admited within emergency departments, including the low-resource settings. This study aims to retrospectively document whether such routine blood biomarkers could predict a positive head CT scan and subsequently contribute to a prediction score, ment to enable more accurate decision on which minor TBI paediatric patients should be submitted to diagnotic imagistics.
