Özet

Objectives: Association between home injuries and child abuse has received interest in Western countries. Inasmuch as it is now known that cultural differences may have an impact on child-rearing practices and the definition of maltreatment, we aimed to assess the suspected physical abuse in children presenting to the emergency department with home injuries and determine the risk factors associated with suspected child maltreatment in our region.
