We looked at the incidence and demography of nonaccidental head injury in children in a prospective population-based study of paediatric units in Scotland during 1998-99. Shaken impact syndrome occurs with an annual incidence of 24.6 per 100000 children younger than 1 year (95% CI 14.9-38.5). Cases are more common in urban regions, and during autumn and winter months. The risk of a child suffering non-accidental head injury by age 1 year is one in 4065. These brain injuries occur almost exclusively in young infants (median age 2.2 months).
在1998 - 1999年期间，我们对苏格兰儿科病房进行了一项基于人群的前瞻性研究，观察儿童非意外性头部损伤的发病率和人口统计学特征。摇晃撞击综合征的年发病率为每10万名1岁以下儿童中有24.6例（95%置信区间为14.9 - 38.5）。病例在城市地区以及秋冬季节更为常见。1岁儿童遭受非意外性头部损伤的风险为4065分之一。这些脑损伤几乎只发生在幼儿（中位年龄2.2个月）身上。
