Will Neuroimaging Reveal a Severe Intracranial Injury in this Adult with Minor Head Trauma?
JAMA 314:2672-2681,2629, Easter, J.S.,et al, 2015
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
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.
