这项研究的目的是研究亲密伴侣的非致命性勒死作为重大袭击、未遂或既遂杀人案的风险因素。病例对照设计用于描述完全杀人和杀人未遂(n=506)和滥用对照(n=427)之间的非致命性勒死。对代理受访者和谋杀未遂幸存者的采访与滥用控制的数据进行了比较。数据是使用危险评估得出的。据报道，10%的受虐对照、45%的杀人未遂和43%的杀人案发生了非致命性勒死。既往的非致命性勒死与成为谋杀未遂的几率大于6倍(优势比[OR]6.70，95%可信区间[CI]3.91-11.49)，成为杀人未遂的几率大于7倍(OR 7.48，95%CI 4.53-12.35)。这些结果表明，非致命性勒死是杀害妇女的一个重要风险因素，强调了在急诊科环境中评估受虐妇女时，需要筛选非致命性勒死。(C)2008年爱思唯尔公司。
The purpose of this study was to examine non-fatal strangulation by an intimate partner as a risk factor for major assault, or attempted or completed homicide of women. A case control design was used to describe non-fatal strangulation among complete homicides and attempted homicides (n = 506) and abused controls (n = 427). Interviews of proxy respondents and survivors of attempted homicides were compared with data from abused controls. Data were derived using the Danger Assessment. Non-fatal strangulation was reported in 10% of abused controls, 45% of attempted homicides, and 43% of homicides. Prior non-fatal strangulation was associated with greater than six-fold odds (odds ratio [OR] 6.70, 95% confidence interval [CI] 3.91-11.49) of becoming an attempted homicide, and over sevenfold odds (OR 7.48, 95 % CI 4.53-12.35) of becoming a completed homicide. These results show non-fatal strangulation as an important risk factor for homicide of women, underscoring the need to screen for non-fatal strangulation when assessing abused women in emergency department settings.
