août 2022 JAMA Network Open

Key Points

Question Did the incidence of abusive head trauma in infants in the Paris metropolitan area increase during the first 2 years of the COVID-19 pandemic (2020-2021) compared with the prepandemic period (2017-2019)?

Findings In a time-series analysis of a cohort study including 99 infants, abusive head trauma incidence was stable in 2020 and then nearly doubled, a significant increase, in 2021.

Meaning These findings suggest that the marked increase in abusive head trauma incidence during the COVID-19 pandemic in the Paris metropolitan area should prompt clinical awareness and preventive actions.
