Abstract
OBJECTIVE: Distinguishing abusive head trauma in young children from other diseases by symptoms is difficult in practice. Comparisons between abusive and nonabusive head trauma in young children in Japan, where computed tomography is widely and easily available, might contribute to identifying markers of abusive head trauma that differ from that in Western countries. The objective of this study was to compare the characteristics of abusive and nonabusive head trauma in young children in Japan. METHODS: A comparative case series study involving a retrospective medical chart and social work record review of children who were aged 0 to 2 years, visited the National Center for Child Health and Development (Tokyo, Japan) from March 1, 2002, to December 31, 2005, and underwent computed tomography scanning because of suspected intracranial injury was performed. Patients (N = 260) were identified and classified as having either abusive or nonabusive head trauma on the basis of the published definition. Demographic and perinatal characteristics, injury history, clinical presentation, and outcomes were compared by using chi2 and Fisher's exact tests. RESULTS: Patients with abusive head trauma were significantly younger than patients with nonabusive head trauma and had a peak at approximately 2 to 4 and 7 to 9 months. Patients with abusive head trauma more likely presented no injury history by the caregiver, neurologic symptoms (unconsciousness, seizure, paralysis), subdural hemorrhage, and retinal hemorrhages. Although patients with abusive head trauma had severe clinical outcomes, only 32% of them were separated from the caregiver by social welfare services. CONCLUSIONS: This study highlights the several clinical markers to detect abusive head trauma at a medical visit, including an absence of injury history, neurologic symptoms, subdural hemorrhage, and retinal hemorrhage. These markers can be used to detect abusive head trauma cases by physicians and social welfare workers to protect children from additional abuse.

Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
