Simple blood test could replace risky brain scans for injured kids
NCT ID NCT02855034
Summary
This study tested whether measuring certain proteins in the blood could help doctors decide which children with head injuries need a CT scan. Researchers enrolled 167 children to see if these blood markers could accurately detect brain damage, potentially reducing unnecessary radiation exposure from scans. The goal was to create a safer, simpler way to evaluate head injuries in kids.
