Screening, diagnosis, treatment and outcomes of developmental dysplasia of the hip in Brazilian population: a scoping review protocol.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) includes a spectrum of clinical and imaging findings at birth or early infancy. The circumstances in which this condition is detected and managed may be heterogeneous in Brazil owing to its large territory and regional socio-economic differences. Mapping DDH perspectives in a country is fundamental for designing guidelines and strategies for public policy. This scoping review aims to map the available literature related to screening, diagnosis, treatment and outcomes of DDH in the Brazilian population to provide an overview of this condition and to describe regional variations in presentation and management across the country.

Methods and analysis

This study will follow the methods outlined in the Joanna Briggs Institute
