To examine the associations between age and genital injuries in adolescent and young adult women examined following rape.
DESIGN & SETTING: A retrospective review of 234 medical records from an emergency department sexual assault program.
Women aged 14 to 29 years. Fifty percent of the sample was African American, 48% was White, and 2% was either Asian or an "other" race.
Genital injury was described by injury prevalence, frequency, and anatomical locations of injuries.
Overall genital injury prevalence was 62.8%. Younger age was not significantly associated with the presence or absence of genital injury. However, younger age was significantly associated with an increased number of genital injuries overall and to the thighs, labia minora, periurethral area, fossa navicularis, and vagina.
These findings support the need for further research to determine if the current care provided to rape survivors is age appropriate.
探讨在遭受强奸后接受检查的青春期及年轻成年女性中，年龄与生殖器损伤之间的关联。
对一家急诊科性侵犯项目的234份病历进行回顾性研究。
年龄在14至29岁之间的女性。样本中50%为非裔美国人，48%为白人，2%为亚裔或其他种族。
通过损伤患病率、频率以及损伤的解剖位置来描述生殖器损伤情况。
生殖器损伤总体患病率为62.8%。年龄较小与是否存在生殖器损伤并无显著关联。然而，年龄较小与总体生殖器损伤数量增加显著相关，且与大腿、小阴唇、尿道周围区域、舟状窝和阴道的损伤数量增加显著相关。
这些发现支持开展进一步研究，以确定目前为强奸幸存者提供的护理是否适合其年龄。
