Trends in US physician diagnosis of child physical abuse and neglect injuries, 2006-2014.
The purpose of this study was to determine if US child physical abuse and neglect injury rates changed from 2006 to 2014, whether definitive diagnoses of physical abuse and neglect were used more often over time, and what patient factors influenced definitive physical maltreatment diagnoses. The investigators found that definitive diagnoses of physical abuse and neglect increased over the study period and were associated with hospital volume and patient characteristics which may reflect provider experience and possible bias.

Parental adverse childhood experiences and resilience on coping after discharge.
Researchers sought to quantify adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and resilience scores for parents of hospitalized children and evaluate their associations to parental coping after discharge. They concluded that more parental adversity and less resilience are associated with parental coping difficulties after discharge, representing potentially important levers for transition-focused interventions.

Intimate partner violence-related hospitalizations in Appalachia and the non-Appalachian United States.
The objective of this study was to estimate the rate of intimate partner violence -related hospitalizations in Appalachia and the non-Appalachian United States for 2007-2011 and compare hospitalizations in each region by clinical and sociodemographic factors.. After adjusting for age and rurality, Appalachian counties had a 22 percent higher hospitalization rate than non-Appalachian counties.
