Of 260 children considered to have been the victims of child abuse or neglect, or both, 149 suffered non-accidental injury, 71 had evidence of growth problems, 87 had developmental and speech delay, and 63 showed evidence of appreciable behaviour disturbance. While the overall prevalence of development and behaviour problems in the series was high there were particular associations noted between growth problems and developmental delay, between increasing age and behaviour disturbance, and between evidence of emotional deprivation and both behaviour disturbance and developmental delay. Children with non-accidental injury but without growth problems or emotional deprivation were least likely to show behaviour or developmental problems.
在被认为是虐待或忽视儿童或两者皆有的260名儿童中，149名遭受了非意外伤害，71名有生长问题的迹象，87名有发育和语言迟缓问题，63名有明显行为障碍的迹象。虽然该系列中发育和行为问题的总体患病率很高，但在生长问题与发育迟缓之间、年龄增长与行为障碍之间以及情感剥夺迹象与行为障碍和发育迟缓之间都发现了特定的关联。遭受非意外伤害但没有生长问题或情感剥夺的儿童出现行为或发育问题的可能性最小。
