Existing decision rules for imaging in trauma can fall short in older patients with blunt injury. Our study “Scanning the Aged to Minimize Missed Injury” developed tailored decision criteria to determine who should have CT scans. @vanessapho @skkishawi journals.lww.com/jtrauma/abstra…

Really excited for this new @EAST_TRAUMA research grant opportunity to fund a registry-based randomized clinical trial using TQIP in collaboration with CNTR. Amazing idea from President @benzarzaur. #EAST2025 nattrauma.org/east-rrct/
