Article Synopsis
- - Child abuse, particularly nonaccidental trauma (NAT), poses serious health and financial challenges, with clinicians trained in pediatric trauma more effectively identifying and reporting these cases, especially in ACS-verified pediatric trauma centers (vPTCs).
- - Analysis of the National Trauma Data Bank from 2007 to 2014 shows that NAT cases were primarily in males, with an average age of 2.3 years and Medicaid being the most common payment method.
- - The study found a significantly higher prevalence of NAT in ACS vPTCs compared to non-ACS vPTCs, indicating that these verified centers have better detection rates likely due to superior clinician training and experience.
