Fatal Abusive Head Trauma on the Decline? 

 
AHT is a leading cause of death as well as long-term, often profound disability and impaired function.

The rate of AHT deaths has decreased from a peak in 2009, with both 2013 and 2104 having less than half the rate of 2009.

Early and accurate diagnosis of AHT makes death less likely by improving the medical outcomes of children affected by AHT.

Prevention oriented public health interventions join the advances in identification and intervention as potential reasons for the decline in AHT related deaths.
