Hip dysplasia is a widespread and debilitating musculoskeletal disorder that affects children. Its prevalence varies across different nations.
To evaluate the prevalence of developmental hip dysplasia (DDH) within the pediatric population of Al Jouf province.
From January 2018 to December 2023, children with DDH from all cities of Al Jouf were included in this retrospective cross-sectional study. The disease prevalence was calculated for the entire province as well as for individual cities within the territory.
The study included 427 patients with DDH with an overall prevalence of 0.50%, or 5.0 per 1000 live births. At the city level, Sakaka had the highest prevalence at 14.2 per 1000 Live births followed by Qurayyat at 2.2 per 1000 live births. In contrast, cities like Suwayr, Abu Ajram, and Meegowa did not show any incidence of DDH. Significant differences were observed in the sociodemographic characteristics, such as age, sex, and nationality, across the different cities ( < 0.05).
The prevalence of DDH in the Al Jouf province is high. The data delivers invaluable insights into the epidemiology of DDH in the Al Jouf locality. The findings highlight the need for targeted screening of DDH across the province.
髋关节发育不良是一种影响儿童的广泛存在且使人衰弱的肌肉骨骼疾病。其患病率在不同国家有所不同。
评估朱夫省儿科人群中发育性髋关节发育不良（DDH）的患病率。
2018年1月至2023年12月，朱夫省所有城市患有DDH的儿童被纳入这项回顾性横断面研究。计算了全省以及该地区内各个城市的疾病患病率。
该研究纳入了427例DDH患者，总体患病率为0.50%，即每1000例活产中有5.0例。在城市层面，塞卡凯的患病率最高，为每1000例活产中有14.2例，其次是古拉亚特，为每1000例活产中有2.2例。相比之下，苏韦尔、阿布阿贾拉姆和米戈瓦等城市未显示出DDH的任何发病情况。不同城市在年龄、性别和国籍等社会人口学特征方面存在显著差异（<0.05）。
朱夫省DDH的患病率较高。这些数据为朱夫地区DDH的流行病学提供了宝贵的见解。研究结果凸显了在全省范围内对DDH进行针对性筛查的必要性。
