Major Finding: Patients had significantly faster functional recovery as measured by the Disability Rating Scale over 4 weeks of treatment with amantadine, compared with patients who received placebo (P = .007). (Source: Clinical Neurology News)

Conclusions:â For clinically important TBI, the three cranial CT decision rules had much lower sensitivities in this population than the original published studies, while the specificities were comparable to those studies. The sensitivities for neurosurgical intervention, however, were comparable to the original studies. The NEXUSâII rule showed the highest reduction rate for CT scans compared to other rules, but failed to identify all undergoing neurosurgical intervention for their original inclusion cohort.
