We reported the prevalence of adjudicated clinically important intracranial bleeding within 42\u2009days of the emergency department visit among (a) patients who hit their head and met the application criteria for the CCTHR (experienced loss of consciousness, amnesia, or disorientation), (b) patients who hit their head and did not meet the CCTHR application criteria, (c) patients with an unclear history of the CCTHR application criteria, (d) patients with an unclear head injury history, and (e) patients with no head injury.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>4303 participants were analyzed.
