“…The reason for these differences in incidence rates between different regions is not clear, however. Some studies have suggested genetic causes [18]. In our study of the pediatric Turkish population, the incidence of the disease was determined as 0.7 per 100 000.…”

Objectives This comprehensive study aimed to describe the epidemiologic and demographic distribution of slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE) in Türkiye, a condition that globally presents at a rate of 10.8 cases per 100 000 children. Utilizing data from the Ministry of Health, we examined the specifics of SCFE in Türkiye, comparing the findings with those of other populations to clarify the country’s unique epidemiological profile. Methods In this retrospective analysis, the Ministry of Health’s database was used to extract medical records of children under the age of 16 diagnosed with SCFE from 2016 to 2023. Patients were evaluated based on sex, age at diagnosis, comorbidities, complications, time of diagnosis and BMI. Results Our analysis identified 720 children with SCFE, with the average age at diagnosis being 12.9 years. The prevalence of SCFE in Türkiye was found to be 0.005% for the year 2022. The occurrence of SCFE showed no correlation with seasons. It was noted that the majority of patients received treatment at university and high-level hospitals (59.9%), with none being treated at lower-level public hospitals. A total of 58 patients were found to have additional growth and developmental diseases. Notably, only 33 cases (4.6%) involved avascular necrosis during follow-up. Conclusion This study provides the first epidemiological and demographic analysis of SCFE in Türkiye. Interestingly, our data suggest that male patients are twice as likely to develop SCFE compared to their female counterparts.

“…The reasons for these marked regional differences in incidence are not clear but may reflect genetic and environmental differences between the various populations. Several studies have indicated that genetics are involved in the etiology of SCFE [21,22].…”

Background This study investigated the epidemiology and demographics of slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE) in South Korea using a nationwide population-based database. Methods Information on sex, age at onset, endocrine comorbidities, history of growth hormone therapy, history of radiation therapy, surgical methods, and complications in patients with SCFE aged younger than 18 years between 2007 and 2019 was retrieved from the Korean Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service database. Results Data were available for 586 children (429 boys, 157 girls). The average age at onset was 11.1 ± 1.8 years (boys, 11.3 ± 1.9; girls, 10.6 ± 1.5). Five hundred and twenty-nine (90.3%) patients were aged 9–14 years; the incidence rate in this age group was 6.0/100,000 (95% confidence interval, 5.5–6.6) and significantly higher in boys (8.4 vs 3.5, p<0.001). There was a significant increase in the annual incidence rate from 0.96/100,000 in 2009 to 2.05/100,000 in 2019 (p = 0.006). Ninety-five patients (16.2%) had endocrine comorbidities or a history of hormone/radiation therapy. Osteotomy and internal fixation were performed in 59 patients and in situ pinning in 527. Seventy-six patients developed postoperative complications. Conclusion The annual incidence rate of SCFE in South Korea has increased since 2009.
