This week in the BMJ our take on the need for CT imaging in minor head injury and isolated vomiting in children. https://t.co/Abnp6dcPUS. With @OlaTweetz and @sailordoctor from the @SheffChildrens team.

[The BMJ @bmj_latest]

Nearly 35 000 children in the UK present to emergency departments with head injuries each year. How can clinicians decide when the risk of traumatic brain injury warrants CT imaging? #BMJPractice #BMJEducation https://t.co/BHhdwzG2wU

[ADC @ADC_BMJ]

Paediatricians will generally be familiar with the initial diagnosis and management of #congenitaladrenalhyperplasia, but did you know about the long-term impact of this diagnosis on health? @nilskrone & colleagues review these issues here https://t.co/9N0FAXl0Wc ^HG

[David King @davidking83]

Elevated heart rate at discharge has a low predictive value for readmission in paediatric emergency patients. Another example of why you should look at the patient rather than solely the observations https://t.co/7voz7gxmxd.
