Summary

This study is developing a checklist to help doctors decide when it's safe to skip a CT scan for head injuries in patients taking blood thinners. Researchers will study 4,000 emergency department patients to find out which symptoms or signs reliably rule out serious brain bleeding. The goal is to reduce unnecessary scans while keeping patients safe.
