Violence against women has many negative consequences. In this short report the authors investigate patterns of mortality among women experiencing violence leading to inpatient care from 1992 to 2006. Do women who are victims of severe violence have an increased mortality risk (a) in general? (b) by violence? (c) by suicide? Does socioeconomic position have any bearing on the mortality risk? The study was based on Swedish national registers, where 6,085 women exposed to violence resulting in inpatient care were compared with a nonexposed population sample of 55,016 women. Women of all social strata previously exposed to severe violence and treated in hospital had a highly increased risk of premature death from all-cause mortality, violence, or suicide. Women previously exposed to severe violence continue to live a life in danger. There is need for a societal response to support and protect these women against further violence after discharge from hospital.
针对妇女的暴力行为会带来诸多负面影响。在这份简短的报告中，作者调查了 1992 年至 2006 年期间因暴力行为而住院的女性的死亡率模式。遭受严重暴力的女性是否（a）普遍存在更高的死亡风险？（b）是否因暴力而增加？（c）是否因自杀而增加？社会经济地位对死亡率风险有影响吗？本研究基于瑞典国家登记处的数据，在该数据中，6085 名因暴力行为而住院的女性与 55016 名未暴露于暴力行为的女性对照样本进行了比较。所有社会阶层的女性之前都曾遭受过严重暴力，并在医院接受治疗，她们因各种原因导致的死亡率、暴力或自杀而导致过早死亡的风险极高。之前曾遭受过严重暴力的女性仍生活在危险之中。社会需要采取应对措施，在这些女性出院后为她们提供支持和保护，使其免受进一步的暴力侵害。
