Hospital Admissions for Abusive Head Trauma at Children’s Hospitals During COVID-19

Evidence that reports to child protective services and emergency department visits for maltreatment have decreased during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID19) pandemic has led to concerns that children are being maltreated but not being brought to care. We hypothesized that in the case of potentially life-threatening abuse, such as abusive head trauma (AHT), it is more difficult for caregivers to forgo medical care. A standard approach to estimating the occurrence of AHT has been counting hospitalizations. Therefore, comparing AHT hospitalizations during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 with those in previous years would provide useful insight into how the pandemic is influencing this type of abuse.
