Summary

This study looked at two scoring systems, PePCI and ManTIS, to see if they can help emergency doctors decide when a child with injuries truly needs a whole-body CT scan. The goal is to avoid unnecessary scans and reduce radiation exposure in children. Researchers in Turkey studied 684 pediatric trauma patients to check if these scores work well in real-world settings.
