A systematic review of shaken baby syndrome by the Swedish Agency for Health Technology Assessment and Assessment of Social Services generated numerous reactions from professional organisations, even before the review was published. There was also a lively debate after a paper summarising its findings were published in Acta Paediatrica The various responses are worth debating further, as they raise several important issues with regard to research ethics, having an open debate and publishing scientific findings.
The responses to the shaken baby syndrome report indicate that scientific scrutiny risks being lost when researchers and organisations are not open to challenging established ideas.
瑞典卫生技术评估与社会服务评估局对摇晃婴儿综合征进行的一项系统综述,甚至在该综述发表之前,就引发了专业组织的众多反应。在一篇总结其研究结果的论文发表于《儿科学报》之后,也展开了一场激烈的辩论。各种回应值得进一步探讨,因为它们在研究伦理、进行公开辩论和发表科学发现方面提出了几个重要问题。
对摇晃婴儿综合征报告的回应表明,当研究人员和组织不接受挑战既定观念时,科学审查可能会缺失。
