Abstract:
Importance:Nearly 6 million children are reported as allegedly experiencing abuse or neglect in the US annually. Child protection agencies are increasingly turning to automated predictive risk models (PRMs) that mine information found in routinely collected administrative data and estimate a likelihood that an individual will experience some future adverse outcome. Objective:To test if a PRM used at the time of referral for alleged maltreatment, which automatically generates a risk stratification score indicating the relative likelihood of future foster care placement, is also predictive of injury hospitalization data. Design, Setting, and Participants:This retrospective cohort study based on a probabilistic association between child protection and hospital encounter data was conducted in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, and at Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh (Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania). Participants included children referred for alleged neglect or abuse in Allegheny County between April 1, 2010, and May 4, 2016. Exposures:Risk score generated from the PRM. Main Outcomes and Measures:Medical encounters (emergency department and inpatient hospitalizations) for any-cause injuries, suicide or self-inflicted harm injuries, and abuse injuries between 2002 and 2015 for children classified by the PRM to different risk levels at the time of a maltreatment referral. Cancer encounters were used as a placebo test. Results:Of 47 305 participants, 23 601 (49.9%) were girls, the mean (SD) age at referral was 8 (5.7) years, 28 211 (59.6%) were black, and 19 094 (40.4%) were nonblack. Children who scored in the highest 5% risk group by the PRM were more likely to have a medical encounter for an injury during the follow-up period than low-risk children (ie, those in the bottom 50% of risk). Specifically, among children referred for maltreatment and classified as highest risk, the rate of experiencing an any-cause injury encounter was 14.5 (95% CI, 13.1-15.9) per 1000 compared with children who scored as low risk who had an any-cause injury encounter rate of 4.9 (95% CI, 4.7-5.2) per 1000. For abuse-associated injury encounters, the rate for high-risk children was 2.0 (95% CI, 1.5-2.6) per 1000 and that of low-risk children was 0.2 (95% CI, 0.2-0.3) per 1000; for suicide and self-harm, the high-risk encounter rate was 1.0 (95% CI, 0.6-1.4) per 1000 and that of low-risk children was 0.1 (95% CI, 0.1-0.1) per 1000. There was no association between risk scores and cancer encounters. Conclusions and Relevance:Findings confirm that children reported for having experienced alleged maltreatment and classified by a PRM tool to be at high risk of foster care placement are also at increased risk of emergency department and in-patient hospitalizations for injuries.
