ABSTRACT
Forty-two percent of women who experienced intimate partner violence (IPV) reported that their experience of IPV resulted in an injury. This review aims to review the existing literature from low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) on IPV-related injuries as well as identify IPV-related injury patterns and locations. A systematic electronic database search was conducted between August and September 2021 (Prospero ID CRD42021281519). Five databases yielded 408 articles; 328 remained for title and abstract screening after duplicates were removed. Of the 59 eligible for full-text review, 19 articles were eligible for extraction. After quality assessment, 18 articles were included in the study. Most (56%) studies were observational studies. Studies represented 15 different countries. The majority of the studies (89%) had authors whose institutional affiliation was located in the country where the study took place. Soft tissue injuries were the most commonly reported injury type followed by fractures and burns. The most common injury locations were the head, neck, and face followed by both upper and lower limbs. The most commonly cited injury mechanism was bodily force. The findings of this study echo what has been written in the literature regarding IPV-related injury patterns from high-income countries (HICs). One limitation of this study is that the search only included literature published in English. The injury patterns identified in this article confirm the need for awareness and action on the part of both medical and surgical providers in order to best address IPV in LMICs.
