Objective: This study was undertaken to determine characteristics associated with physical injury in female sexual assault victims.Study design: All females who were 15 years or older presenting after sexual assault to an urban emergency department during a 34-month period underwent standardized evaluation. Analysis was performed by chi(2) and logistic regression.Results: Of 819 women, 52% had general body and 20% had genital-anal trauma; 41% were without injury. General body trauma was independently associated with being hit or kicked (odds ratio [OR] = 7.7, 95% CI, 5.1-11.7), attempted strangulation (OR = 4.2, 95% CI, 2.5-7.2), oral or anal penetration (OR = 1.7, 95% CI, 1.2-2.3), and stranger (OR = 2.4, 95% CI, 1.7-3.4) assault. Genital-anal injury was more frequent in victims younger than 20 and older than 49 years (P
