Aims
• Identify the prevalence and pattern of bruises in preschool children over time and to explore influential variables
![Page 5: Journal Club Dr Karen Arnold July 2015. Case Scenario 18 month old boy Multiple bruises Knees, shins, right elbow, right hand, forehead Boisterous boy.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070415/5697bfa11a28abf838c95ca3/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Methods• Prospective longitudinal study• Children aged 0-6 years• South Wales• Recruited from well-baby clinics, hospital outpatient
clinics and mother & baby groups• Excluded motor disability, confirmed bleeding disorder or
suspected child abuse
![Page 6: Journal Club Dr Karen Arnold July 2015. Case Scenario 18 month old boy Multiple bruises Knees, shins, right elbow, right hand, forehead Boisterous boy.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070415/5697bfa11a28abf838c95ca3/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
• 2 phases in study• Phase 1 (Apr 2005 – Dec 2007)• Phase 2 (Apr 2008 – Aug 2011)• Both phases collected gender, age, developmental stage
and PMH• Phase 2 included ethnicity, family order and
socioeconomic status, parental report on cause of bruise
![Page 7: Journal Club Dr Karen Arnold July 2015. Case Scenario 18 month old boy Multiple bruises Knees, shins, right elbow, right hand, forehead Boisterous boy.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070415/5697bfa11a28abf838c95ca3/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
• Parents trained to recognise a bruise• Record number and location of bruises• Trained not to record cuts, abrasions, birthmarks• Bruises recorded on body map weekly for up to 12
weeks• Walking children had four weekly collections
![Page 8: Journal Club Dr Karen Arnold July 2015. Case Scenario 18 month old boy Multiple bruises Knees, shins, right elbow, right hand, forehead Boisterous boy.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070415/5697bfa11a28abf838c95ca3/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
• At each collection parents recorded the most advanced developmental milestone reached
• Classified as premobile (not rolling or rolling), early mobile (crawling or cruising) and walking
![Page 9: Journal Club Dr Karen Arnold July 2015. Case Scenario 18 month old boy Multiple bruises Knees, shins, right elbow, right hand, forehead Boisterous boy.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070415/5697bfa11a28abf838c95ca3/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Validation• Parents recorded number, location and size of bruise• Random sample of 40 data collections from 40 different
children selected• Single research nurse verified lesions recorded by
independently repeating process• Parents not warned about visit
![Page 10: Journal Club Dr Karen Arnold July 2015. Case Scenario 18 month old boy Multiple bruises Knees, shins, right elbow, right hand, forehead Boisterous boy.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070415/5697bfa11a28abf838c95ca3/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Analysis
• Longitudinal analysis performed using multilevel modelling with Poisson distribution and a log link function
![Page 11: Journal Club Dr Karen Arnold July 2015. Case Scenario 18 month old boy Multiple bruises Knees, shins, right elbow, right hand, forehead Boisterous boy.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070415/5697bfa11a28abf838c95ca3/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)

• Some sites numerous bruises• Mean number bruises below knee 2.8• Mean number bruises to front of thigh 1.4
• Ears, neck, genitalia and hands were rarely bruised (<1% of collections)
• Majority premobile children had no bruise• 73% (97/133) never had a bruise in 1010 collections
![Page 21: Journal Club Dr Karen Arnold July 2015. Case Scenario 18 month old boy Multiple bruises Knees, shins, right elbow, right hand, forehead Boisterous boy.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070415/5697bfa11a28abf838c95ca3/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
• Independently mobile children• Wide variation between children• Considerable variation between collections
• Walking children• Majority of variation was between children• Suggests different children tend to sustain different amounts
of bruising

Conclusions• Strong relationship between presence, number and
location of bruises and motor development stage• Bruising in babies who were not yet rolling was
uncommon• Percentage of collections with at least one bruise and
the number of bruises at each collection increased with increased development stage
![Page 24: Journal Club Dr Karen Arnold July 2015. Case Scenario 18 month old boy Multiple bruises Knees, shins, right elbow, right hand, forehead Boisterous boy.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070415/5697bfa11a28abf838c95ca3/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Comparisons and Contrasts
• Greater prevalence of bruising in this study for all developmental groups
• Comparative study with some children who have more than expected number of bruises
![Page 25: Journal Club Dr Karen Arnold July 2015. Case Scenario 18 month old boy Multiple bruises Knees, shins, right elbow, right hand, forehead Boisterous boy.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070415/5697bfa11a28abf838c95ca3/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Safeguarding Considerations• Probability of abuse in this population low• Explanations, where available, compatible with bruise• If bruise pattern deemed unusual they were
independently reviewed by child protection team and child abuse was excluded
• Parents informed that referral to social services would be made if maltreatment suspected
![Page 26: Journal Club Dr Karen Arnold July 2015. Case Scenario 18 month old boy Multiple bruises Knees, shins, right elbow, right hand, forehead Boisterous boy.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070415/5697bfa11a28abf838c95ca3/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Limitiations• Recruitment challenging as it required prolonged
participation• Over representation of less socially deprived population• Parents knowledge of cause of bruising
![Page 27: Journal Club Dr Karen Arnold July 2015. Case Scenario 18 month old boy Multiple bruises Knees, shins, right elbow, right hand, forehead Boisterous boy.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070415/5697bfa11a28abf838c95ca3/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Analysis• Clearly focused issue?• Cohort recruitment?• Potential bias excluded?• Confounding factors?• Follow-up long/complete enough?• Results?• Can results be applied locally?• Implications?
![Page 28: Journal Club Dr Karen Arnold July 2015. Case Scenario 18 month old boy Multiple bruises Knees, shins, right elbow, right hand, forehead Boisterous boy.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070415/5697bfa11a28abf838c95ca3/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Clearly focused issue?• Bruising in preschool children (0-70months)• Prevalence of bruising• Patterns of bruising
![Page 29: Journal Club Dr Karen Arnold July 2015. Case Scenario 18 month old boy Multiple bruises Knees, shins, right elbow, right hand, forehead Boisterous boy.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070415/5697bfa11a28abf838c95ca3/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Cohort recruitment?• Wide cross section – well baby clinics, hospital OPDs,
mum & baby groups• 1002 approached, 328 in study• Under representation of lower socioeconomic groups• How was suspected child abuse identified and excluded?• Cohort of motivated parents agreeing to intensive
participation
![Page 30: Journal Club Dr Karen Arnold July 2015. Case Scenario 18 month old boy Multiple bruises Knees, shins, right elbow, right hand, forehead Boisterous boy.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070415/5697bfa11a28abf838c95ca3/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Potential bias excluded?• Selection bias – motivated parents BUT prospective
study• Study compliance – some participants involved for 24
weeks• Subjective recording by parents• Inter – observer variability – reduced by training parents
![Page 31: Journal Club Dr Karen Arnold July 2015. Case Scenario 18 month old boy Multiple bruises Knees, shins, right elbow, right hand, forehead Boisterous boy.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070415/5697bfa11a28abf838c95ca3/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Confounding factors?• Non-accidental injury• Suspected child abuse excluded• Unusual pattern of injury reviewed by child protection
team and abuse excluded
![Page 32: Journal Club Dr Karen Arnold July 2015. Case Scenario 18 month old boy Multiple bruises Knees, shins, right elbow, right hand, forehead Boisterous boy.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070415/5697bfa11a28abf838c95ca3/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Was follow-up complete?• Over 12-24 weeks• Could potentially follow-up until 16 years looking for SC
involvement and look back at their history of bruising
![Page 33: Journal Club Dr Karen Arnold July 2015. Case Scenario 18 month old boy Multiple bruises Knees, shins, right elbow, right hand, forehead Boisterous boy.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070415/5697bfa11a28abf838c95ca3/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Results• Bruising in non-rolling babies uncommon• Number of bruises increases with developmental stage• Ears, neck, genitalia, hands are rare sites for bruising in
any preschool child• 9% children have twice as many bruises as would be
expected
![Page 34: Journal Club Dr Karen Arnold July 2015. Case Scenario 18 month old boy Multiple bruises Knees, shins, right elbow, right hand, forehead Boisterous boy.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070415/5697bfa11a28abf838c95ca3/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
