Bachman,Arthur Cooper,Elizabeth C. Powell,Michael Gerardi,Kraig Melville,J. Paul Muizelaar,David H. Wisner,Sally Jo Zuspan,J. Michael Dean,Sandra L. Wootton-Gorges +31 more
TL;DR: These validated prediction rules identified children at very low risk of clinically-important traumatic brain injuries (ciTBI) for whom CT might be unnecessary and missed neurosurgery in validation populations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Epidemiology of psychiatric-related visits to emergency departments in a multicenter collaborative research pediatric network.
Prashant Mahajan,Elizabeth R. Alpern,Jackie Grupp-Phelan,James M. Chamberlain,Lydia Dong,Richard Holubkov,Elizabeth Jacobs,Rachel M. Stanley,Michael G. Tunik,Meridith Sonnett,Steve Miller,George L. Foltin +11 more
TL;DR: Pediatric psychiatric- related visits require more prehospital and emergency department resources and have higher admission/transfer rates than non-psychiatric-related visits within a large national pediatric emergency network.
Journal ArticleDOI
Isolated linear skull fractures in children with blunt head trauma
Elizabeth C. Powell,Shireen M. Atabaki,Sandra L. Wootton-Gorges,David H. Wisner,Prashant Mahajan,Todd F. Glass,Michelle Miskin,Rachel M. Stanley,Elizabeth Jacobs,Elizabeth Jacobs,Peter S. Dayan,James F. Holmes,Nathan Kuppermann +12 more
TL;DR: Children with minor blunt head trauma and isolated linear skull fractures are at very low risk of evolving other traumatic findings noted in subsequent imaging studies or requiring neurosurgical intervention.
Journal ArticleDOI
Referral and resource use patterns for psychiatric-related visits to pediatric emergency departments.
Jacqueline Grupp-Phelan,Prashant Mahajan,George L. Foltin,Elizabeth Jacobs,Michael G. Tunik,Meridith Sonnett,Steven Miller,Peter Dayan +7 more
TL;DR: Children with psychiatric-related visits seem to require substantial ED resources, and interventions are needed to reduce the burden on the ED by increasing the linkage to mental health services, particularly for suicidal youths.
Journal ArticleDOI
Incidental findings in children with blunt head trauma evaluated with cranial CT scans
Alexander J. Rogers,Cormac O. Maher,Jeff E. Schunk,Kimberly S. Quayle,Elizabeth Jacobs,Richard Lichenstein,Elizabeth C. Powell,Michelle Miskin,Peter S. Dayan,James F. Holmes,Nathan Kuppermann +10 more
TL;DR: A small but important number of children evaluated with CT scans after blunt head trauma had incidental findings, suggesting physicians who order cranial CTs must be prepared to interpret incidental findings and communicate with families, and ensure appropriate follow-up.
