Video Summary
In this presentation, Kate McNamara discusses the long-term outcomes of children who experience abusive head trauma compared to accidental traumatic brain injury. Child abuse is alarmingly common, with millions of reported cases each year. Previous studies have shown that patients with abusive head trauma have lower Glasgow Coma Scale scores and more frequent subdural hemorrhages. McNamara's research aimed to compare the outcomes of these two groups over time. The study found that abusive head trauma patients had worse outcomes, including higher mortality rates and impairments in various domains such as mental status, sensory, communication, motor, feeding, and respiratory. The findings highlight the need for assessments and rehabilitation to improve outcomes for these patients.
