OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effect of perpetrator gender on victim presentation and outcomes, and perpetrator legal outcomes for abusive @entity542 (AHT). METHODS: We performed a retrospective chart review of AHT cases from 1998 to 2008. @entity1 clinical data and information regarding perpetrator legal outcome was obtained. Relationship of @entity1545 and @entity5861 ( @entity5861 ) and differences in categorical variables of perpetrator gender were compared by using Fisher's exact test. Differences in continuous variables between perpetrator gender were compared by using the Mann-Whitney Test. RESULTS: There were 34 cases of AHT with identified perpetrators, 17 of each gender. Mean age of the victims was 9.4 months (SD: 7.8). Thirty-two (94%) had @entity932 , 14 (41%) had both primary and secondary @entity1545 , 28 (82%) had @entity5861 , and 6 (18%) died. The severity of RH was related to the severity of @entity1545 (P = .01). The median age for female perpetrators (34 years) was higher than that for males (27 years; P = .001). Six categorical variables were associated with male perpetrator gender: acute presenting symptoms of @entity1576 (P = .025), worse clinical outcome (P = .012), neurosurgical intervention (P = .037), @entity204 (P = .018), perpetrator confession (P = .0001), and conviction (P = .005). CONCLUSIONS: There were significant perpetrator gender differences of AHT in @entity1 . Male perpetrators were younger and more likely to confess and be convicted. Victims of male perpetrators had more serious acute presentations and neurosurgical intervention and suffered worse clinical outcomes.
