The ALTE cases were identified as having had a diagnosis of ALTE (International Classification of Diseases, 9th Revision 799.82) or as having had a constellation of studies performed consistent with our institutional protocol for ALTE evaluation. Exclusion criteria were known trauma and cases lacking an identifiable ALTE feature on review.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>There were 631 cases identified, of which 617 met inclusion and exclusion criteria. Of those, 537 had a head CT performed. Five patients were identified with clinically important head CT findings: a case of congenital toxoplasmosis, a case of intraventricular hemorrhage, and 3 cases of nonaccidental trauma (NAT). One of the NAT patients had a bruise on his forehead; the other patients had no historical, physical examination, and other laboratory or radiologic findings to raise concern for significant finding on head CT. The rate of clinically significant findings and occult clinically significant findings was 5\/537 (0.93%) (95% confidence interval, 0.30%\u20132.16%; number needed to treat = 108) and 4\/537 (0.75%) (95% confidence interval, 0.20%\u20131.90%; number needed to treat = 135), respectively.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>The rate of clinically important head CT findings in ALTE evaluation was relatively rare, at 0.93%. Given the severe consequences of missing these cases, these data establish a role for empiric head CT in the evaluation of ALTE.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1097\/pec.0000000000000922","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,10,7]],"date-time":"2016-10-07T12:03:07Z","timestamp":1475841787000},"page":"623-627","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["The Utility of Head Computed Tomography in the Evaluation of Apparent Life-Threatening Event"],"prefix":"10.1097","volume":"34","author":[{"given":"Wayne","family":"Stark","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Annie","family":"Rominger","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Kosair Children's Hospital and University of Louisville School of Medicine, Louisville, KY; and"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Fred","family":"Warkentine","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Kosair Children's Hospital and University of Louisville School of Medicine, Louisville, KY; and"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Kerry","family":"Caperell","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Kosair Children's Hospital and University of Louisville School of Medicine, Louisville, KY; and"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"276","reference":[{"key":"bib1-20230930","first-page":"10","article-title":"Infantile apnea and home monitoring","volume":"6","year":"1986","journal-title":"NIH Consensus Statement"},{"key":"bib2-20230930","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"361","DOI":"10.1542\/pir.33.8.361","article-title":"Apparent life-threatening events: an update","volume":"33","year":"2012","journal-title":"Pediatr Rev"},{"key":"bib3-20230930","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1043","DOI":"10.1136\/adc.2003.031740","article-title":"Causes of apparent life threatening events in infants: a systematic review","volume":"89","year":"2004","journal-title":"Arch Dis Child"},{"key":"bib4-20230930","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"821","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jpeds.2010.04.072","article-title":"Abusive head trauma in children presenting with an apparent life-threatening event","volume":"157","year":"2010","journal-title":"J Pediatr"},{"key":"bib5-20230930","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"591","DOI":"10.1097\/PEC.0b013e3182225563","article-title":"Mortality and child abuse in children presenting with apparent life-threatening events","volume":"27","year":"2011","journal-title":"Pediatr Emerg Care"},{"key":"bib6-20230930","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"912","DOI":"10.1177\/0009922808320595","article-title":"Clues that aid in the diagnosis of nonaccidental trauma presenting as an apparent life-threatening event","volume":"47","year":"2008","journal-title":"Clin Pediatr (Phila)"},{"key":"bib7-20230930","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"108","DOI":"10.1007\/s00431-003-1365-x","article-title":"Recommended clinical evaluation of infants with an apparent life-threatening event.
