“…A flow chart describing the process of identifying relevant literature can be found in Appendix 10. A total of three studies [162][163][164] were identified as meeting the inclusion criteria. Although, no UK cost-effectiveness studies were found, one study 162 did repeat the analysis using UK modelling recommendations.…”

“…However, both the Smits et al 162 and Stein et al 163 studies agreed that the CCHR prediction tool was cost-effective compared with other strategies, although the comparator strategies used were different in these studies.…”

“…The economic model of Smits et al 162 was published while we were developing our model. This used data from a study of the CHIP rule to estimate GOS outcomes after prompt treatment and historical data from Cordobés et al 169 (before the routine use of CT scanning) to estimate outcomes after delayed treatment.…”

HTADiagnostic management strategies for adults and children with minor head injury: a systematic review and an economic evaluation NIHR Health Technology Assessment programmeThe Health Technology Assessment (HTA) programme, part of the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR), was set up in 1993. It produces high-quality research information on the effectiveness, costs and broader impact of health technologies for those who use, manage and provide care in the NHS. 'Health technologies' are broadly defined as all interventions used to promote health, prevent and treat disease, and improve rehabilitation and long-term care. The research findings from the HTA programme directly influence decision-making bodies such as the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) and the National Screening Committee (NSC). HTA findings also help to improve the quality of clinical practice in the NHS indirectly in that they form a key component of the 'National Knowledge Service' . The HTA...

“…Computed tomography (CT) is widely accepted as an effective method to diagnose and detect rare but clinically significant in patients suffering minor head injury or brain disease. As such, it has been increasingly utilized as a simple and available test for these patients (12). However, a seminal study conducted by Brenner and Hall (13) warns against its bad effects (particularly for children) due to the radiation exposure associated with CT.…”

“…However, a seminal study conducted by Brenner and Hall (13) warns against its bad effects (particularly for children) due to the radiation exposure associated with CT. Independent CT imaging studies (12,14,15) advocate the adoption of a comprehensive approach that targets physicians' education to decrease the over-reliance on CT imaging for those suffering from brain disease. Therefore, to reduce the harmfulness of CT, it can be beneficial to use data mining methods specially, NBN as a predictor.…”

Result: In this article, the use of NBN in predicting diseases was described. Finally, the results were reported in terms of Accuracy, Sensitivity, Specificity and Area under ROC curve (AUC).

Combinations of history and physical examination features in clinical decision rules can identify patients with minor head trauma at low risk of severe intracranial injuries. Certain findings, including signs of skull fracture, GCS score of 13, 2 or more vomiting episodes, decrease in GCS score, and pedestrians struck by motor vehicles, may help identify patients at increased risk of severe intracranial injuries.
