Detection and referral of orbital and ocular injuries associated with intimate partner violence following an educational and screening initiative in an emergency department
JAMA Ophthalmology May 31, 2021
Dawoud SA, Cohen AR, Renner LM, et al. - In this single-center retrospective quality improvement analysis, researchers determined the number of intimate partner violence (IPV)-associated orbital floor fractures, zygomaticomaxillary complex (ZMC) fractures, and ruptured globes referred to ancillary services in adult female patients following an educational and screening intervention to healthcare professionals. In total, 216 adult female patients (mean [SD] age, 55.0 [22.7] years; age range, 18-99 years) sustained orbital floor or ZMC fractures postinitiative. Referral patterns of adult female patients with IPV-associated orbital fractures improved after the initiative began. Effective intervention requires targeted IPV screening of patients with orbital and ocular injuries.
