As part of a transcultural investigation of violent behavior in Denmark and South America, the lesions from accidents involving deliberate violence registered in three Danish emergency wards during a 1-year period were studied. A quantity of 2211 lesions were diagnosed in 1316 patients (953 male and 363 female patients). Sixty-five percent of the lesions were in the head/neck region, 13% in truncus, 18% in the upper extremities and 5% in the lower extremities. The most frequent diagnosis was an open wound in the head/neck region. Adding contusions and fractures in the same region this amounted to more than half of the total number of lesions. In the upper extremities 62% of the lesions were contusions or open wounds. Serious lesions of internal arteries were few, however always caused by sharp instruments (knives). Serious lesions due to firearms were not recorded/reported. Strangulation had been used against 1.1% of the victims, the male/female ratio being 1:6. The main part of the lesions were of minor severity when assessed on the basis of the scores in the Abbreviated Injury Scale (AIS). The lesions were, however, more serious compared to other recent studies, and it appeared that the female victims had fewer but more serious lesions than the male victims. The need for treatment and hospitalization was in the range of other recent studies.
作为对丹麦和南美洲暴力行为的跨文化调查的一部分，对在1年期间三个丹麦急诊病房登记的涉及故意暴力的事故损伤进行了研究。在1316名患者（953名男性患者和363名女性患者）中诊断出2211处损伤。65%的损伤在头/颈部区域，13%在躯干，18%在上肢，5%在下肢。最常见的诊断是头/颈部区域的开放性伤口。加上同一区域的挫伤和骨折，这占损伤总数的一半以上。在上肢，62%的损伤是挫伤或开放性伤口。然而，严重的内部动脉损伤很少，且总是由锐器（刀）造成。未记录/报告因火器导致的严重损伤。1.1%的受害者遭受过勒颈，男女比例为1:6。根据简明损伤定级标准（AIS）评分评估，大部分损伤为轻度。然而，与最近的其他研究相比，这些损伤更严重，而且女性受害者的损伤数量较少但更严重。治疗和住院需求与最近的其他研究范围相当。
