Analysis of Childhood Physical Violence Cases Presented to theEmergency Department
Öz: Aim: To examine the demographic and epidemiological characteristics of children who were exposed to physical violence.Materials and Methods: Data of patients younger than 18 years admitted due to physical violence exposure to the Emergency Medicine Clinic in a tertiary university hospital were retrospectively reviewed.Results: A total of 120 cases met the study criteria. The median age of patients was 15 (4-18) years and 70.8% of them were male. The female/male (F/M) ratio was 35/85. Emergency admissions due to physical exposure were made most frequently in July (n=16, 13.3%), where in 57.5% were made between 16:00 and 23:59. The most common injury site was the head (n=39, 32.5%) followed by the extremities (n=21, 17.5%). Moreover, 87.5% of patients had minor injuries according to Injury Severity Score levels.Conclusion: Most of pediatric forensic cases were male adolescents. Education about a safe environment should be provided by taking protective measures to reduce the incidence of these cases. In addition, awareness activities in which parents and children can participate effectively should be supported and expanded by social institutions.
