Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: To determine indications for performing head CT following minor head injuries, which allow reducing number of imaging. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Based on 15 articles dedicated to this topic, the clinical decision rules were systematically analysed. RESULTS: The Canadian Computed Tomography Head Rule was found to be the most reliable instrument meeting these criteria, characterised by excellent sensitivity of 100% and fairly good specificity of 48-77%. Remaining scales, although very sensitive, showed poor ability to reduce number of "unnecessary" CT scans. Features most predictive for intracranial injuries included: disorientation, abnormal alertness, somnolentia and neurological deficits. Patients with no loss of consciousness and in normal physical condition need only clinical assessment. Indications to head CT scanning are determined by decision rules presented in the article. CONCLUSION: Use of clinical decision rules may have effect on reducing number of head CT scanning performed "just in a case".

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
