摘要：

全球老龄化加剧了老年人受虐问题，而低报告率凸显了这一问题的紧迫性。急诊科在识别和救治受虐老年人方面具有前哨作用。该文综述了急诊科识别受虐老年人的现状，被虐待老年人在急诊科的常见表现，探讨了现有评估工具和干预措施。文章强调了急诊科在应对虐待老年人问题中的重要性，建议通过培训医护人员、优化急诊科环境、建立多学科团队和推广智能筛查工具等措施，提高老年人虐待的识别率和干预效果；进一步改进培训和识别-响应流程，强化与社区的合作，推动相关法律法规完善，确保受虐老年人得到持续支持和照护。

Abstract:

Global ageing has exacerbated the problem of elder abuse，and the low rate of reporting highlights the urgency of the problem. Emergency departments have an outpost role in identifying and treating elder abuse. This article reviews the current state of emergency department identification of abused older adults，common presentations of abused older adults in the emergency department，and explores available assessment tools and interventions. The article highlights the importance of the emergency department in responding to elder abuse and suggests measures to improve the identification of elder abuse and the effectiveness of interventions through the training of healthcare professionals，optimization of the emergency department environment，establishment of multidisciplinary teams and promotion of smart screening tools. Training and the identification-response process should be further improved，cooperation with the community should be strengthened，and the improvement of relevant laws and regulations should be promoted，so as to ensure that abused elderly individuals receive continuous support and care.
