Abstract
Children suspected of having been physically abused had significantly higher venous blood lead levels than a comparison group (p < 0.0001). Abused children were 27-fold more likely to have lead levels > 0.965 mumol/L (20 micrograms/dl) (odds ratio = 26.7). We recommend that abused children be monitored for lead intoxication more frequently than other children.Entities:
