JAMA Pediatrics —The Year in Review, 2023
For a solid 3 years, COVID-19 commandeered academic publishing. Academic submissions, however, at least for now, seem to be a lagging indicator of the pandemic. While society has lurched back toward normalcy, we are still receiving papers trying to make sense of what we have been through retrospectively. In some ways, more recent papers include studies that are more salient. They have longer follow-up, have larger sample sizes, and have evaluated the effects of more recent strains of the virus.

No Science Supports the Diagnostic Methods for Abusive Head Trauma —Reply
In Reply In addressing our Viewpoint, Brook and colleagues assert that “no science supports the diagnostic methods for abusive head trauma (AHT).” However, rather than addressing the diagnostic methodologies of AHT directly, their critique instead focuses on disputing the 3 lines of evidence indicating that shaking is an important mechanism of AHT. In addition, the ir letter ignores cherry picking and data fabrication, both of which have been used to deny the occurrence of AHT. (Source: JAMA Pediatrics)

No Science Supports the Diagnostic Methods for Abusive Head Trauma
To the Editor In their Viewpoint, Leventhal et al refer to those who question the diagnostic methods used in identifying shaken baby syndrome (ie, abusive head trauma [AHT] via shaking) as lying, antiscience denialists. Leventhal et al outline what they call the “robust evidence supporting this mechanism [shaking] as a cause of AHT.” (Source: JAMA Pediatrics)
