Validation of Falls Decision Rule to Exclude Intracranial Bleeding in Geriatric Fall Patients

The Falls Decision Rule is a rule used to assess the risk of intracranial haemorrhage in geriatric patients and to prevent brain tomography (CT) in low-risk patients. This rule recommends that brain CT is not necessary in patients who do not have significant head trauma, memory loss, newly developing neurological examination disorder, or frailty score lower than 5 after a fall.
