Aim: we aimed to test the reliability of Canadian Assessment of Tomography for Childhood Head İnjury (CATCH) Rule
iin children with minor head injury.
Methods: It was performed prospectively on patients admitted due to minor head trauma. Patients were evaluated with
CATCH rule and divided into 2 groups. Descriptive values are number and percentage for categorical data, mean ± standard
deviation for age expressed in terms. For categorical data in comparison of groups, Chi-Square and Fisher-Exact test, T test
was used on independent samples for continuous data. p <0.05 value was considered statistically significant.
Results: The most common cause of travma was game and sports injuries. In our study, the CATCH rule has been
calculateted sensitivity 100%, specificity 48.5%, and negative predictive value was 51.5%.
Conclusion: We found the CATCH rule was very successful in reducing unnecessary CT shots.
