Your registrar asks for advice about PECARN, CHALICE and CATCH in paediatric head injury.
An 18-month-old girl fell from a low couch and hit a coffee table 1 hour ago. Her mother says she is quieter than normal and she vomited once en route.
The child is alert and playing with her mother's phone. She has a small frontal haematoma, equal pupils and no focal neurology. After assessment you decide not to perform CT, but her mother requests CT to look for concussion.
Detail the main differences in the research evidence behind PECARN, CHALICE and CATCH.
