“…Studies that sought to compare victim injury across different populations (e.g. virgins and non-virgins) [11][12][13][14][15][16] 3. Studies that reported injury data whilst describing the use of new examination equipment and/or technique [17][18][19][20] However, several studies did not fit into these categories.…”

“…The majority of studies were conducted in a Sexual Assault Treatment Unit (SATU), Sexual Assault Referral Centre (SARC) or in another variant of this model of care [2,6,8,11,12,15,16,20,[23][24][25][26]. Seven studies were based in an Emergency Department (ED) [7,9,10,14,[17][18][19].…”

“…Of those studies which were conducted within a SATU or SATU variant, the majority of examining clinicians were described as having undertaken specialist training [2,8,11,12,15,16,20,23,24]. The grade of clinician varied between SATUs, with trained nurses undertaking examinations in some centres and doctors in others.…”

CitationHeterogeneity of existing research relating to sexual violence, sexual assault and rape precludes meta-analysis of injury data. 2013, 20 (5) AbstractIn order for medical practitioners to adequately explain to the court the findings of their clinical examinations of victims of sexual violence, they must have access to research data which will place their findings in to context. Unfortunately, existing research has reported a very wide range of injury prevalence data. This papers aims to provide an explanation for this wide variation in results and, furthermore, this paper aims to establish if it is possible to carry out a meta-analysis of existing research data, pertaining to the prevalence of injury after sexual assault. It is suggested that pooling of individual study results may allow statistically robust determination of the true prevalence of injury in victims of sexual violence. It is concluded that heterogeneity in research methodology, between existing research studies, is responsible for the broad range of reported prevalence rates. Finally, this heterogeneity is seen to preclude robust meta-analysis.

“…[32][33][34] Rates of reported injury in cases of forced sex vary immensely, with studies estimating between 32% 30 and 94%. 34 Sexually assaulted prepubescent girls and adolescents may sustain more injuries than adults due to the hymeneal, vaginal, or cervical lacerations that occur naturally with sexual debut.…”

The links between sexual violence, genitoanal injury, and HIV are understudied but potentially significant for understanding the epidemic's disproportionate impacts on young women and girls, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa, other hyperendemic areas, and conflict-affected regions. A Scientific Research Planning Meeting was convened by the Social Science Research Council at the Greentree Foundation in New York, March 19-20, 2012, bringing together an interdisciplinary group of researchers, clinicians, and policy makers to identify knowledge needs and gaps in three key areas: (1) the role of genitoanal injury on HIV transmission, acquisition, and pathogenesis; (2) the influence of sex and age-related anatomic characteristics on HIV transmission, acquisition, and pathogenesis; and (3) the role of heterosexual anal intercourse in HIV transmission. This article reflects the consensus that emerged from the Greentree Meeting regarding priority scientific research questions in these three areas, associated data collection and measurement challenges and opportunities, and implications for policy and practice.

“…McLean et al did not find an association for position in their adult population [10]. We suspect that sexual assault in multiple positions correlates with more violent, frequent, and/or multiple episodes of rape during the single sexual assault experience.…”
