Preterm birth does not increase the risk of developmental dysplasia of the Hip: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The purpose of this systematic review was to appraise the literature on the association between preterm birth and developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH).

Methods

Medline, Embase, Scopus, and Web of Science databases were queried for all studies pertaining to DDH and preterm birth. Data were imported and analyzed in Revman5 and Comprehensive Meta-Analysis (CMA) for pooled prevalence estimation.

Results

Fifteen studies were included in the final analysis. There were 759 newborns diagnosed with DDH in these studies. DDH was diagnosed in 2.0% [95%CI:1.1-3.5%] of the premature newborns. Pooled incidence rate of DDH was not statistically different between those groups (2.5%[0.9%-6.8%] vs. 0.7%[0.2%-2.5%] vs. 1.7%[0.6%-5.3%];Q = 2.363,p = 0.307).
