Abstract
One in four children experience maltreatment in their lifetime with severe costs to the child and society (CDC, 2014). An examination of non-accidental trauma (NAT) patients in the greater DC area isolated specific prehospital and clinical indicators that can offer insight into the customization of pediatric emergency department triage processes.
