There were differences regarding the in-charge specialist across these countries. There was variability in the use of guidelines and their adherence. Spain was the country with the least guideline adherence. There was a global agreement in ordering a brain CT for patients receiving anticoagulation or platelet inhibitors, and for patients with seizures, altered consciousness, neurological deficit, clinical signs of skull fracture or signs of facial fracture. Aging was not an indication for CT in French centres. Loss of consciousness and posttraumatic amnesia were considered as indications for CT more frequently in Spain than in France. These findings were in line with the data from the 6 clinical vignettes. The estimated use of CT reached around 50% of mTBI cases. The use of S100B is restricted to five French centres.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>There were large variations in the guideline adherence, especially in the situations considered to order brain CT after mTBI.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1007\/s00068-022-01902-5","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,2,17]],"date-time":"2022-02-17T23:36:10Z","timestamp":1645140970000},"page":"1189-1198","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":15,"title":["Variability in the indication of brain CT scan after mild traumatic brain injury.
