    Background. The purpose of this paper is to determine how many cases of child abouse were detected and registered in Slovenian health care in the last yearsand what were the characteristics of ... injuries and injury events. Methods.From the national data bank on mortality, hospitalizations and primarypreschool and school children health services data we obtained cases with diagnosis of the external cause of injury E960-969 (ICD-9th revision). Results. In primary health services 415 international injuries by other persons were detected per year, 158 children and adolescents were hospitalisedand 5 have died. Adolescents have five times greater risk to be hospitalised due to inflicted injuries than younger children (OR = 5,55 (4,88-6,30), p < 0,001). The most frequent nature of injury are contusions (36,3%) and fractures of head bones (26,5%). The most fequent cause is beating(86,8%). Infants have seven times greater risk than older children to die due to inflicted injuries (OR = 7,81 (3,25-18,14), p < 0,001). The most frequent causes of death are head injuries (9 from 33) and injuries of internal organs (7 from 33). External causes of death are strangulation (9 from 33) and assault with sharp objects (6 from 33). Conclusions. It is necessary to start with additional education for phisicians to improve their recognizing skills of child abuse and to define the appropriate way of reporting child abouse.
