Patterns of Skin Injury in Nonaccidental and Accidental Injury

John M. Pascoe MD1, H. M. Hildebrandt MD1, Ann Tarrier RN1, and Miriam Murphy BSN1

1 Department of Pediatrics and Communicable Diseases and University of Michigan Medical Center Emergency Room, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, Michigan

The patterns of soft tissue injuries in a group of 154 children reported to protective services for child abuse or neglect were compared with patterns of soft tissue injury found in a group of 91 emergency room patients who sustained an accidental injury and 105 children seen in a pediatric ambulatory clinic. All children in the three groups were 1 to 12 years old. Children in the suspected child abuse and neglect group had significantly more (P < .01) soft tissue injuries over the cheeks, trunk, genitals, and upper legs. Lacerations were significantly more common (P < .001) in the emergency room group.
