There was no statistically significant difference between both groups in terms of age, gender, and race. Those with a positive CCT were found to have a statistically significant higher ISS than the negative CCT group (20.6 \u00b1 12.3 vs 12.3 \u00b1 7.6; P &lt; .01). Those with a positive CCT were more likely to have a GCS &lt;15 (40% vs 25%), have a positive CXR (38% vs 2%), have chest pain (16% vs 7%), and have an abnormal chest exam (27% vs 7%) than those with a negative CCT ( P &lt; .01). On multivariate analysis, positive CXR ( P &lt; .05, OR = 13.96) and ISS ( P &lt; .05, OR = 3.10) were independently associated with a positive CCT.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>While CCT may provide valuable information, clinical exam coupled with low-ionizing radiographic imaging (i.e., CXR) may sufficiently identify chest trauma after blunt mechanisms. This shift in management can potentially reduce the risk of radiation without compromising the care of adolescent trauma patients at adult trauma centers.<\/jats:p>\n
