This study was a collaborative effort, enrolling across 18 EDs with many site PIs to create this highly sensitive prediction rule and imaging guidelines. @nationwidekids @UUtah @childrensColo @wustl @STLchildrens @childrensatl @childrensphila @PEMatCHOP @Bostonchildrens @UPMC

Why is this important? 🔹>8 million kids/yr in the US go the ED after blunt #trauma w/ <1% having cervical spine injuries. 🔹CT scans are often used to evaluate for c-spine injuries, exposing kids to ionizing radiation 🔹This study provides guidance on who really needs a scan

🚨Hot off the Press! Introducing the #PECARN C-spine Rule! This groundbreaking study, led by @JCLeonardMDMPH, provides a clinical prediction tool for identifying cervical spine injury risk in children experiencing blunt trauma. @LancetChildAdol thelancet.com/journals/lanch…
