A two-center retrospective review of the hematologic evaluation and laboratory abnormalities in suspected victims of non-accidental injury
2014, Child Abuse and NeglectCitation Excerpt :In 2011, there were over 3 million instances of suspected child maltreatment, approximately 20% of which were the result physical abuse or non-accidental injury (NAI; U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, 2011). Bruising is the most common presenting symptom in physical abuse (Johnson & Showers, 1985), and abusive head trauma, including intracranial hemorrhage (ICH), is the most common cause of death resulting from physical abuse (Duhaime et al., 1992; Kellogg, 2007). Bleeding disorders are estimated to exist in as much as 1% of the general population; for von Willebrand disease, the most common minor bleeding disorder, the estimations of prevalence within the general population range from 0.6 to 1.3% (Nichols et al., 2008).
Sentinel injuries: Subtle findings of physical abuse
2014, Pediatric Clinics of North AmericaCitation Excerpt :In hospitalized patients, the rate of serious physical abuse in children less than 1 year of age is 58.2 per 100,000, compared with 6.2 per 100,000 in general.29 The high rate of infant abuse may be related to several factors, including increased needs, complete dependence on caregivers, and physical vulnerability.30 Crying, a commonly identified trigger among perpetrators, typically peaks in duration in the second month of life, although caregiver’s perception of and response to crying is a more important risk factor than the duration of crying.9,31–33
