The medical and social outcome in 2016 of infants who were victims of shaken baby syndrome between 2005 and 2013
Résumé
There are few studies that have investigated the long-term outcome of children who have been victims of shaken baby syndrome (SBS). However, the consequences appear to be significant and the data available from a social point of view are scarce. The main objective of this study was to define the medical and social outcome in 2016 of the infants who were victims of SBS and admitted to one of the Marseille university hospitals. The number of patients followed by a specialized team was evaluated along with their clinical state, living conditions, and whether a social support system such as the Child welfare system had been put into place.
