About

This webpage provides information and resources on TEN-4-FACESp, a clinical decision rule for identifying abuse in children under 4-years-old based on specific bruising locations. The screening tool helps differentiate between accidental injury and abuse, especially in infants 4 months and younger with patterned bruising. Recognizing and addressing bruising can aid in protecting at-risk children from physical abuse and enhancing their well-being.
