Blunt cerebrovascular injury after ground-level falls: Yield of CT angiography and relevance of the expanded Denver criteria
Listen to this summary
This study aimed to quantify the incidence of blunt cerebrovascular injuries (BCVI) in patients who experienced ground-level falls (GLF) and to evaluate the effectiveness of the expanded Denver criteria in identifying at-risk individuals. The findings revealed that all identified BCVIs occurred in patients meeting the expanded Denver criteria, while none were found in those who did not meet the criteria, suggesting that strict adherence to these criteria could serve as an effective and resource-efficient screening strategy.
