Document: Abusive head trauma (AHT) is the leading cause of death from child abuse in children younger than 5 years. It is well documented that the infant contacts of children presenting with suspected AHT are at an increased risk of abuse when compared to the general infant population.

In this light, the authors propose a standardised screening method for all contact children of the index case and call for further consensus on the subject.
