Prevalence and awareness of developmental dysplasia of the hip in Northern border Saudi Arabia.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Introduction: Developmental dysplasia of the hip is a condition characterized by loose joints or dislocated hips due to malformations of the hip joint in newborns and young children. Understanding the prevalence and awareness of this condition can help in early detection and treatment hence promoting better health outcomes and improved quality of life of the children. Methods: This cross-sectional study involved a total of 401 adults living in Northern Saudi Arabia. The data were collected using structured online questionnaires, then cleaned, coded, and analyzed using SPSS version 27 to drive key insights. Results: The study found a 4% prevalence of developmental dysplasia of the hip among children. About 61 participants (15.2%) demonstrated good awareness while the majority of them 360 (84.8%) had poor awareness regarding DDH. The most common source of knowledge was internet and social media (109, 45.2%). The risk factors for DDH correctly reported were breech presentation (139, 34.7%) and female gender (108, 26.9%) while the complications were walking problems (256, 63.8%) and chronic hip pain (214, 53.4%). Statistically significant association was found between place of residence, age and the awareness level of DDH (p=0.006; p<0.001). Furthermore, knowing someone with DDH was a significant predictor of good awareness of the condition (AOR = 2.90; 95% CI = 1.807 - 4.650; p<0.001). Conclusion: The study found inadequate awareness of developmental dysplasia of the hip among the population; with residents of Arar and participants aged more than 45 years demonstrating better awareness of DDH. The study identified significant gaps in knowledge and awareness of the risk factors, treatment and complications of DDH. These findings highlight the need for targeted awareness and education programs on the need for early detection and treatment of the condition to prevent complications and improve quality of life of children.
