Association of Race and Ethnicity With Computed Tomography Head Utilization in Children Presenting to the Emergency Department With an Unprovoked Seizure
Listen to this summary
The authors aimed to investigate the association between race and ethnicity and the utilization of computed tomography (CT) scans in children presenting to the emergency department with unprovoked seizures. Their analysis of data from 2016 to 2022 revealed that CT scans were performed in 23.6% of visits, with age being a significant factor influencing CT utilization, while no significant racial or ethnic disparities were found. However, the authors caution that the findings regarding race and ethnicity may lack statistical reliability.
