RIPV score implementation Based on our hypothesis for possible influencing factors and existing findings in the literature, we generated the RIPV score to detect possible IPV victims in the ED [5,9,11,35,38]. The score is characterised by 8 simple questions and covers the most prominent factors associated with IPV in women. Therefore the 8 questions are: 1. Is there any history of IPV? 2. Is there a substance abuse in your environment? 3. Is there a migration background? 4. Is there a poor socioeconomic status? 5. Absent moon? 6. Are you pregnant? /. Female gender? 8. Age below 35 years? This score was retrospectively utilized in our study population to proof its possible effectiveness. (Table 2)
