Incidence was calculated by age, gender, and region. Trends in incidence of hospitalization and injury severity were calculated over time.RESULTS: Hospitalization rates for injury from abuse showed no significant change over the study period, ranging from a low of 2.10 per 10 000 children in 1998 to a high of 3.01 per 10 000 children in 2005 (P = .755).
