New Risk Scores Available in Cleo: Neuro & Trauma

Clinicians who document in Cleo should have access to the same commonly used tools they rely on in any documentation environment, including risk scores. Risk scores are used routinely in acute care for imaging triage, severity stratification, and escalation decisions, and they can help support documentation defensibility by providing structured, evidence-based rationale for clinical choices. They should be available where the clinician is already working.

What We Built: Neuro & Trauma

With this release, seven validated neuro and trauma risk scores are now available directly inside Cleo. Each score is aligned with published validation studies and widely used references such as MDCalc, and engineered for structured capture at the point of care.

The seven scores cover four clinical domains that are among the most time-sensitive in acute care.

C-Spine Clearance

• NEXUS C-Spine evaluates five binary criteria for blunt-trauma imaging triage.
• Canadian C-Spine Rule combines high-risk and low-risk criteria with an active rotation assessment for alert, stable blunt trauma patients.

Pediatric Head Trauma

• PECARN Head Trauma (under 2 years) identifies high-risk features for clinically important traumatic brain injury in children under two, driving imaging and escalation decisions. Six binary inputs.
• PECARN Head Trauma (2 years and older) applies a distinct criteria set for older children, capturing basilar signs, loss of consciousness, vomiting, severe headache, and mechanism. Six binary inputs.

Stroke Severity

• LAMS (Los Angeles Motor Scale) is a brief pre-hospital stroke severity screen covering facial droop, arm drift, and grip strength. Three motor items scored 0 to 5.

Intracranial Hemorrhage

• ICH Score stratifies severity for intracerebral hemorrhage on admission using GCS, age, volume, intraventricular hemorrhage, and infratentorial origin. Five factors scored 0 to 6.
• Hunt-Hess SAH grades clinical severity for subarachnoid hemorrhage from Grade I through Grade V based on symptoms and level of consciousness.

How It Works

Each score is available directly inside the clinician's Cleo workflow. The clinician selects the relevant score, enters the required inputs through a structured form, and receives the calculated result. Once calculated, the score and its inputs are automatically placed into the appropriate section of that physician's documentation, so the result is captured in context without any extra steps.

Neuro & Trauma is the latest set of risk scores available in Cleo, with more clinical domains on the way. If your team is interested in seeing them in action, we would love to show you.
