Original Title: Hjernerystelse: Observation eller CT-scanning – en kommenteret udenlandsk medicinsk teknologivurdering
Authors' recommendations: For about 75% of all patients with concussions in emergency-rooms a CT-scan of the head and a return to home just as safe as to hospitalized for observation. This is the conclusion in a report from the Danish National Board of Health based on a Swedish HTA-report from 2006.
