S100-B protein as a screening tool for the early assessment of minor head injury
D Zongo, R Ribéreau-Gayon, F Masson… - Annals of emergency …, 2012 - Elsevier
STUDY OBJECTIVE: A computed tomography (CT) scan has high sensitivity in detecting
intracranial injury in patients with minor head injury but is costly, exposes patients to high
radiation doses, and reveals clinically relevant lesions in less than 10% of cases. We
evaluate S100-B protein measurement as a screening tool in a large population of patients
with minor head injury. METHODS: We conducted a prospective observational study in the
emergency department of a teaching hospital (Bordeaux, France). Patients with minor head …
