Single Bruise Characteristics Associated With Abusive vs Accidental Injury
The TEN-4-FACESp BCDR is an effective screening tool for abuse among young children with a single bruise in the pediatric ED. Even 1 BCDR-positive bruise indicated increased risk for abuse. Negative BCDR results must be interpreted with caution given the higher rate of false negatives in this analysis compared with the validation study.
