Abbreviations
- Nonaccidental trauma (NAT)
Synonyms
- Nonaccidental injury (NAI)
Definitions
- Abusive skeletal injuries are suspected in injury of nonambulatory child, incompatible injury and explanation, delay in seeking medical attention, multiple fractures, and fall as explained etiology for fracture
- Child maltreatment is broad term encompassing abuse (physical, emotional, sexual) and neglect (physical, emotional, medical, educational, supervisional)
- Physical abuse is inflicted injury to child
