This study provides evidence of the benefits of screening for DDH after 28 days, namely: reduced false positives, improved screening accuracy, and a reduced requirement for follow-up visits. Delaying screening can also potentially reduce unnecessary parental anxiety, eliminate unnecessary healthcare burdens, and reduce costs. We recommend performing hip ultrasound screening for newborns after 28 days.

Fetuses at risk for Sotos syndrome may present abnormal sonographic findings of the brain and the skull in association with overgrowth, unilateral hydronephrosis and polyhydramnios in the third trimester. Perinatal MRI studies aid in confirmation of the diagnosis.

To ensure no additional psychological harm was caused to parents, consultations were worded with tact, and instead of pushing for pregnancy continuation, the main aim was to ensure they had access to sufficient information to make an informed decision, and to support parents in their choice. Analysis. Descriptive statistics were used to characterize the OFC cases. Frequency was described by count (n) and percentage (%). A comparison between case characteristics and the decision to use consultation services, as well as a comparison between consultation services and the decision of whether to continue with pregnancy was performed. Due to some cells having a small count of less than n = 5, a Fisher's Exact Test (X 2) test of independence was performed. An a priori cutoff of significance was set at p < 0.05. All analyses were performed using R (RStudio Team (2019). RStudio: Integrated Development for R. RStudio, Inc., Boston, MA. URL https ://www.rstud io.com/).
