The aim of this study was to determine whether prematurity is important with respect to hip typing and planning of treatment/follow-up in newborns assessed with the Graf's ultrasonography method. Between January 1998 and 2003, 1592 neonates; preterm (n=432) and term (n=1160), had their hips ultrasonographically evaluated with Graf typing. There were no statistical differences between the two groups with respect to the numbers of hips that required follow-up assessment, or treatment. The results suggest that prematurity is irrelevant and use of chronological age as opposed to corrected age for prematurity will further simplify diagnosis and planning of follow-up and treatment in the Graf system for neonatal hip assessment.
本研究的目的是确定对于采用格拉夫超声检查法评估的新生儿，早产在髋关节分型以及治疗/随访计划方面是否具有重要意义。在1998年1月至2003年期间，1592例新生儿（早产432例，足月产1160例）接受了髋关节超声格拉夫分型评估。两组在需要随访评估或治疗的髋关节数量方面无统计学差异。结果表明早产并无关联，在格拉夫新生儿髋关节评估系统中，使用实际年龄而非早产校正年龄将进一步简化诊断以及随访和治疗计划。
