What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting This study
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.

Summary

This study will look back at medical records of 800 children aged 0-18 who came to the emergency room with a mild traumatic brain injury and had a head CT scan. Researchers want to see if routine blood tests (like white blood cell count, CRP, and glucose) can predict whether the CT scan will show any injury. The goal is to develop a scoring system that helps doctors avoid unnecessary CT scans and reduce radiation exposure in children.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

What this could lead to
If successful, this could lead to a simple blood-based score to help doctors decide which children with mild head injuries truly need a CT scan, reducing radiation exposure.
What could go wrong
This is an early retrospective study, not a clinical trial testing a treatment. The results may not be strong enough to change practice, and the blood markers may not reliably predict CT findings.
