The incidence of retinal hemorrhages in abusive head trauma for identified perpetrators, regardless of a confession, is similar. However, there is a statistically significant decrease in the incidence of retinal hemorrhages in abusive head trauma when comparing identified perpetrators to non-identified perpetrators. This decreased incidence of retinal hemorrhages was statistically correlated to a lower incidence of acute presentation in victims of abusive head trauma without an identified perpetrator.[J Pediatr Ophthalmol Strabismus 2013;50(3):169-172.].
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
