OBJECTIVE: To examine patterns of physical injury associated with intimate partner violence among women presenting to emergency room departments. DATA SOURCES: Systemic searches of Medline, EMBASE, and CINHAHL electronic databases from their earliest entries up to February, 2008. Reference lists from the studies included from the electronic database search were reviewed for published and unpublished studies.

BACKGROUND: Antidepressants including selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) and serotonin noradrenaline reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs) are known to cause secondary sexual dysfunction with prevalence rates as high as 50%–90%.
