Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip (DDH) includes a broad spectrum of hip abnormalities. DDH requires early diagnosis and treatment; however, no international consensus on screening protocol and treatment is provided in the literature. Epidemiological studies are helpful to understand the national variation of a specific surgical procedure and compare it with that of other countries. Data provided by different countries could allow researchers to provide international guidelines for DDH screening and treatment. Limited data are reported regarding trends of hospitalization for DDH, and no public database is available. The purpose of this study was to estimate annual admissions for DDH in Italian patients from 2001 to 2016, based on the hospitalization reports. Data of this study were collected from the National Hospital Discharge Reports (SDO) reported at the Italian Ministry of Health. Descriptive statistical analyses were performed. From 2001 to 2016, 3103 hospitalizations for DDH were recorded in Italy, with a mean incidence of 2.33 (per 100,000 young inhabitants). Females of the 0-4 years old group represented the majority of patients hospitalized for DDH.
发育性髋关节发育不良（DDH）包括广泛的髋关节异常。DDH 需要早期诊断和治疗；然而，文献中没有提供关于筛查方案和治疗的国际共识。流行病学研究有助于了解特定手术在全国的变化，并将其与其他国家进行比较。来自不同国家的数据可以使研究人员为 DDH 的筛查和治疗提供国际指南。关于 DDH 住院治疗趋势的报告数据有限，并且没有公共数据库。本研究的目的是根据住院报告估计 2001 年至 2016 年意大利患者的 DDH 年住院人数。本研究的数据来自意大利卫生部报告的国家住院报告（SDO）。进行了描述性统计分析。2001 年至 2016 年，意大利共记录了 3103 例 DDH 住院病例，平均发病率为每 100,000 名年轻居民 2.33 例。0-4 岁组的女性是因 DDH 住院的大多数患者。
