NCT01818934

Brief Summary

The aim of the randomized controlled trial was to determine whether the addition of a general or of a selective ultrasound screening program resulted in more appropriate criteria for treatment and a reduced prevalence of late DDH compared with clinical examination alone.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • prevalence of DDH detected after newborn period

    prevalence of late cases of DDH, detected after newborn period (after first month of age, including in childhood as assessed in original RCT during 1988-90, with a minimum follow-up time of 27 months, and also at skeletal maturity, as assessed in follow-up study during 2007-09.

    20 years

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • treatment rate

    20 years

Other Outcomes (1)

  • avascular necrosis of femoral head (AVN)

    20 years

Study Arms (3)

expert clinical exam only

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

all babies assigned to this group had expert clinical examination only, no hip ultrasound

Procedure: hip ultrasound

selective hip ultrasound screening

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

all children classified at increased risk, based on clinical findings and/or risk factors (breech presentation, family history, foot deformity)received a hip ultrasound at birth, in addition to expert clinical screening

Procedure: hip ultrasound

universal hip ultrasound screening

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

All newborns assigned to this arm received hip ultrasound at birth in addition to expert clinical examination

Procedure: hip ultrasound

Interventions

Standardized single-examiner Hip ultrasound was offered to all babies in the universal group, babies at increased risk in the selective group, and to no babies in the clinical exam only group
