Summary
This summary is machine-generated.This study analyzed 5065 Chinese children with transient synovitis of the hip (TSH). Preschoolers were most affected, with conservative treatment and examinations being common, providing key data for TSH understanding.
Area Of Science
- Pediatric Orthopedics
- Epidemiology
- Musculoskeletal Disorders
Background
- Transient synovitis of the hip (TSH) is a common cause of hip pain in children.
- Understanding its epidemiological characteristics is crucial for effective management.
- Previous studies have provided limited data specific to the Chinese pediatric population.
Purpose Of The Study
- To investigate the epidemiological features of TSH in Chinese children.
- To identify factors associated with TSH incidence and characteristics.
- To provide clinical data for improved TSH diagnosis and treatment strategies.
Main Methods
- Retrospective analysis of 5065 pediatric TSH cases from 32 tertiary hospitals in China (2015-2022).
- Data extraction included age, sex, diagnosis, treatment, onset time, region, and hospitalization costs.
- ICD-10 codes were used for case identification.
Main Results
- The cohort included 3711 males and 1354 females.
- Preschool children (48.4%) had the highest incidence; adolescents had the longest hospitalization (9.4 days).
- East China showed a higher prevalence; conservative treatment (99.2%) was predominant, with skin traction being most common. Examination costs were highest (USD 188.35).
Conclusions
- This study provides comprehensive epidemiological data on TSH in Chinese children.
- Findings highlight the prevalence in preschoolers and the preference for conservative management.
- The data supports enhanced understanding and clinical decision-making for TSH in this population.
