Of all patients with head injury, minor head injury represents the most common visitors of the emergency department. It contributed to about 70 - 80 o/o of all head injury cases that are seen in the Accident and Emergency department. Minor head injury is generally defined as those with history of blow to the head in which has resulted in loss of consciousness and I or amnesia with Glasgow Coma Score of 13 to 15. It is controversial whether cranial CT scan should be performed on all patients, as the yield of positive CT scan is low as opposed to its high cost. The rate of neurosurgical intervention is even lower to justify the routine use of CT scan on this patient. The use of clinical variables as a screening tool before deciding to embark on CT scan is appropriate in order to reduce the number of CT scan performed on all patients with minor head injury. 2002-05 Thesis http://eprints.usm.my/36323/ http://eprints.usm.my/36323/1/Dr_Laili_Suriani_Ab_Latip_-_TNM_%28NN24%29.pdf application/pdf en public masters Universiti Sains Malaysia Pusat Pengajian Sains Perubatan (School of Medical Sciences)
