N2  - This study concludes that: "The striking increase in referrals for AHT probably represents increasing incidence. The decision to
refer a hospitalised child with a head injury for assessment for possible AHT should not be influenced by socio-economic status or ethnicity. Children over 2 years old hospitalised for AHT are usually injured by mechanisms involving impact and should be considered at high risk of death." (From the abstract).
