“…Fractures were the second most common injury in abused children 102 and in all injured children of school age. 25,26,88,91,92,105 Burns appeared to be more common in abused children but this finding may be confounded by there being more young children in the abused group than in the studies of all children. The distribution of each type of injury was remarkably similar in the three studies that reported results for all ages.…”

“…104 We found three published studies 91,92,94,105 and four primary datasets that reported the type of injury in all children attending A&E. 25,26,88 Most reported the principal injury although the RoSPA reported 21% more injuries (n = 130,647) than children (n = 108,259). 88 Bruises accounted for the large majority of injuries in physically abused children (60%) 102 and all children attending A&E (range from 59% 105 to 74% 91,92 ). Fractures were the second most common injury in abused children 102 and in all injured children of school age.…”

“…62,88,[90][91][92][93][94] Two studies from Norwich 91,92 were combined as they used the same geographic population and methods but studied different age groups. All six studies were based on children attending A&E after 1989 and all but one were based on routine hospital coding of the principal reason for attendance.…”

“…The Norwich study estimated the denominator population based on person-years of residence using child health records. 91,92 All other studies estimated the denominator population from point prevalence census data. 62,88,90,93,94 In the four studies that reported results for all ages, the incidence of attendance ranged from 13.6 per 100 child-years in Norwich to 21.5 per 100 childyears in Newcastle.…”

HTA NIHR Health Technology Assessment ProgrammeT he Health Technology Assessment (HTA) Programme, part of the National Institute for HealthResearch (NIHR), was set up in 1993. It produces high-quality research information on the effectiveness, costs and broader impact of health technologies for those who use, manage and provide care in the NHS. 'Health technologies' are broadly defined as all interventions used to promote health, prevent and treat disease, and improve rehabilitation and long-term care. The research findings from the HTA Programme directly influence decision-making bodies such as the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) and the National Screening Committee (NSC). HTA findings also help to improve the quality of clinical practice in the NHS indirectly in that they form a key component of the 'National Knowledge Service'. The HTA Programme is needs led in that it fills gaps in the evidence needed by the NHS. There are three routes to the start of projects. First is the commissioned route. Suggestions for research are actively sought from people working in t...
