Pediatric NEXUS II (Gupta 2018)

Pediatric NEXUS II (Gupta 2018). Low-risk iff all seven flags are false: skull fracture, scalp hematoma, neurologic deficit, altered alertness, abnormal behavior, persistent vomiting, and coagulopathy. Age 0-17 is required but is not a criterion; adult NEXUS Head CT age >= 65 is dropped. Not a diagnosis, not a CT order, not Mower 2017 adult NEXUS Head CT, not PECARN, CATCH, or CHALICE, and not Hoffman 2000 NEXUS C-spine. magent does not examine the patient.
