Infant Scalp Score

This calculator quantifies the risk of traumatic brain injury in infants who have sustained a head injury. It may assist clinicians in decision-making regarding whether or not to obtain imaging in infants, particularly those less than 12 months of age, where the broader PECARN head injury decision rule may be less applicable.

It may assist clinicians in decision-making regarding whether or not to obtain imaging in infants, particularly those less than 12 months of age, where the broader PECARN head injury decision rule may be less applicable.
