    Rash - Case 9-2: 7-Week-Old Girl: III. Incidence and Epidemiology
    (Pediatric Complaints and Diagnostic Dilemmas)

    Child abuse is an all too common diagnosis. Soft tissue trauma or skin injuries such as bruising are frequently the earliest and most common manifestation of physical maltreatment. A number of studies have shown that many seriously injured children had been evaluated previously for bruises or burns, just as in this case. Johnson and Showers showed in an epidemiologic study of injury variables that children with evidence of chronic maltreatment, such as these bruises, are at a 50% risk for further abuse and at a 10% risk for fatal injury.

    Diaper Rash - prevalence

    • Diaper dermatitis is significantly more common in infants and children who are still in diapers, and generally resolves when diapers are no longer worn.
    • It affects 7–35% of the infant population at any given time and is most commonly found in the 9–12-month age group.

    About prevalence and incidence statistics:

    The term 'prevalence' of Diaper rash usually refers to the estimated population of people who are managing Diaper rash at any given time. The term 'incidence' of Diaper rash refers to the annual diagnosis rate, or the number of new cases of Diaper rash diagnosed each year. Hence, these two statistics types can differ: a short-lived disease like flu can have high annual incidence but low prevalence, but a life-long disease like diabetes has a low annual incidence but high prevalence. For more information see about prevalence and incidence statistics.
