Medline, Embase, Cinahl, Cochrane library, National Research Register, Social Sciences database and PsychInfo databases were searched for potentially relevant studies. Inclusion criteria: population\u2010based cohort, case\u2013control or cross\u2010sectional studies of children &lt;18\u2003years of age that reported empirical data on the association of abuse with disability. Risk estimates were expressed as odds ratios with 95% confidence intervals (CI) where possible. Meta\u2010analysis was not undertaken because of heterogeneity of studies.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Results\u2002<\/jats:bold> Four studies met the inclusion criteria. Two were longitudinal studies, one was a retrospective birth cohort and the remaining study was a cross\u2010sectional survey. Types of disability studied varied widely as did methods used to ascertain abuse and neglect. Two studies accounted for potential confounding. Three studies reported an association between psychological and emotional disabilities and abuse. Two studies reported an association of learning disability with abuse. Only one study examined the association of physical disability (cerebral palsy) with abuse reporting an adjusted odds ratio for all forms of abuse of 1.79 (95% CI 0.96, 3.36) and for physical abuse of 3.00 (95% CI 1.29, 6.78).<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Conclusions\u2002<\/jats:bold> The evidence base for an association of disability with abuse and neglect is weak. Psychological and emotional problems, and learning difficulties appear to be associated with abuse but this association might arise because these conditions share a common aetiological pathway with abuse. There is limited evidence that physical disability predisposes to abuse.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1365-2214.2006.00693.x","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2006,10,19]],"date-time":"2006-10-19T10:00:39Z","timestamp":1161252039000},"page":"552-558","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":70,"title":["Abuse of the disabled child: a systematic review of population\u2010based studies"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"33","author":[{"given":"M.","family":"Govindshenoy","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"N.","family":"Spencer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2006,10,19]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_5_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/archpedi.157.4.336"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0145-2134(98)00087-8"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/car.2380010305"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_5_1","first-page":"3","article-title":"The abuse of deaf children","volume":"3","author":"Kennedy M.","year":"1989","journal-title":"Child Abuse Review"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0145-2134(95)00072-G"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_7_1","volume-title":"Undertaking Systematic Reviews of Research Effectiveness","author":"NHS Centre for Reviews and Dissemination","year":"2001"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_8_1","unstructured":"Shenoy M.(2003)A systematic review of literature on abuse of the disabled child.Unpublished MSc Thesis.School of Postgraduate Medical Education University of Warwick Warwick UK."},{"key":"e_1_2_5_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0145-2134(03)00010-3"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_10_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1542\/peds.2004-1882"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_11_1","volume-title":"A League Table of Child Maltreatment Deaths in Rich Nations","author":"UNICEF","year":"2003"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_12_1","unstructured":"US Child Abuse Prevention and Treatment Act Public Law(1984) 93\u2013247 as amended 42 USC 5101."},{"key":"e_1_2_5_13_1","volume-title":"The Education for All Handicapped Children","author":"US Public Law, 94\u2010142 Department of Education","year":"1975"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_14_1","first-page":"1425","article-title":"Child abuse in the city of Temuco.
