Abstract Objective To analyse the interdependency between the positive CT findings of intracalvarium and clinical characteristics of acute head injury,and explore the dangerous factors of acute intracranial injuries and the indication of CT. Methods The CT findings and clinical characteristics of acute head injury of 230 cases were studied prospectively. The clinical findings as independent variable, the positive findings on CT as dependent variable, their association with multivariate analysis of Logistic Regression was tested. Results The associated clinical characteristics with all positive CT result were neurological deficit (OR=3.05), serious injury(OR=2.37). The associated clinical characteristics with serous positive CT result were loss of consciousness(OR=4.13),fracture of skull(OR=3.85). Conclusion We have concluded that the preliminary indications of CT for acute head injury according to the dangerous characteristical factors can help clinicians to evaluate the occurrence and severity of acute intracranial injury correctly, and reduce the unnecessary CT.
