Physical violence is a cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. An often-underreported subtype of physical violence is domestic violence (DV). The main aim of this study was to identify DV-specific patterns of traumatic injuries in comparison to other types of interpersonal violence (OV) in a Romanian population from a medical-legal standpoint. We performed a retrospective study drawing on 500 medical-legal certificates (medical-legal document attesting the traumatic injuries) of victims of interpersonal violence issued by the National Institute of Legal Medicine Bucharest during the 2017-2020 period. A total of 500 victims comprised the sample, including 188 DV victims and 312 victims of OVs. A majority of the DV victims were women (153 victims; 81%), whereas a majority of the OV victims were men (231 victims, 74%). Overall, DV victims were older compared with OV victims (40.9 ± 15.4 vs 37.3 ± 14.8 years, respectively). We found a pattern of frequent upper limb injuries specific to DV, whereas head injuries were specific to OV.
身体暴力是全球发病和死亡的一个原因。家庭暴力(DV)是身体暴力中一种经常未被报告的亚型。本研究的主要目的是从法医学角度,在罗马尼亚人群中确定与其他类型人际暴力(OV)相比,特定于家庭暴力的创伤性损伤模式。我们进行了一项回顾性研究,利用了布加勒斯特国家法医学研究所2017 - 2020年期间出具的500份人际暴力受害者的法医学证书(证明创伤性损伤的法医学文件)。共有500名受害者组成样本,包括188名家庭暴力受害者和312名其他人际暴力受害者。大多数家庭暴力受害者为女性(153名受害者;81%),而大多数其他人际暴力受害者为男性(231名受害者,74%)。总体而言,家庭暴力受害者比其他人际暴力受害者年龄更大(分别为40.9±15.4岁和37.3±14.8岁)。我们发现了一种特定于家庭暴力的上肢损伤频发模式,而头部损伤特定于其他人际暴力。
