- W2892430279 abstract "The study aimed to determine the prevalence and pattern of genital injuries among the female adolescents alleged to have been raped that presented at the Enugu State University Teaching Hospital (ESUTH) from January 1 2013 to August 31 2014. All of the adolescents alleged to have been raped that presented within the study period were studied, and the relevant data were extracted from their records. The data were analysed using the Epi info statistical software, Version 7. There were 78 adolescents alleged to have been raped within the study period. They were all female, with a mean age of 14.12 ± 5.6 years. The majority of them were virgins (n = 47, 60.3%). Five of them (6.4%) had multiple perpetrators. The prevalence of genital injuries was 44.9%, while the genital injury frequency rate was 1.2. Laceration was the commonest injury type, while the hymen was the most affected site (n = 15; 35.7%). Being a virgin at the time of the rape was significantly associated with the presence of genital injury (p < .001). This suggests that the absence of genital injury is not sufficient evidence to rule out the possibility of rape. Impact Statement What is already known on this subject? Rape is a global problem with a severe negative impact on the victim. Apart from the associated psychological and emotional trauma, a genital injury could result. However, it appears that so much emphasis are usually placed on the presence of a genital injury in establishing an incident of rape in the developing world. Genital injuries seem to be the main substantive evidence of rape in the developing world including Nigeria. Convicting the perpetrator of rape in law court is usually difficult in the absence of genital injuries after medical examination. What the results of this study add? The result of this study shows that a genital injury is not be found in all cases of an alleged rape, especially among the adolescents. In fact, more than half of the rape survivors had no genital injury. What the implications are of these findings for clinical practice and/or further research? The absence of a genital injury does not exclude the possibility of a rape, neither does its presence confirm a rape, as genital injuries can occur even in consensual sex. Adopting a modern method of establishing a rape case is very important for the provision of concrete evidence in court that will enable the proper and sound dispensation of justice." @default.
