TL;DR: The Canadian C-Spine Rule is derived, a highly sensitive decision rule that will allow emergency department (ED) physicians to be more selective in use of radiography in alert and stable trauma patients and has the potential to significantly reduce practice variation and inefficiency in ED use of C-spine radiography.
