A prospective random study was performed on 476 patients, up to 2 years of age, by full-time registered nurses in the emergency room. The parent (caretaker) and child were assessed in an effort to predict child abuse. The incidence of abuse rose from 2.5% to 15.2% if one or more abnormal features were present in parent or child (p less than .0003). Abuse developed in 19% of unkempt children and 28% of children with abnormal bruises, burns, or bites. The incidence of abuse increased to 42% (P less than .002) when these factors were present together. An unkempt child with an abnormal parenting pattern and a 30% chance of being abused (P = .007).
在急诊室，由全职注册护士对476名2岁及以下儿童进行了一项前瞻性随机研究。对父母（照顾者）和孩子进行评估，以预测儿童虐待情况。如果父母或孩子存在一个或多个异常特征，虐待发生率从2.5%上升至15.2%（p小于0.0003）。在邋遢的儿童中，19%发生了虐待；在有异常瘀伤、烧伤或咬伤的儿童中，28%发生了虐待。当这些因素同时存在时，虐待发生率增至42%（p小于0.002）。一个邋遢且养育模式异常的儿童，被虐待的几率为30%（p = 0.007）。
