Knowledge Attitude And Practice

Objectives: The aim of the study was to determine the current knowledge, attitude, and practice of developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) management among primary care physicians (PCP) in Saudi Arabia. Methods: A cross-sectional study on PCP from a single health-care system in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, was conducted using a survey questionnaire to evaluate the medical knowledge, attitude, and current practice in the clinics, including diagnosis and screening skills. Results: Sixty-five PCPs participated in the survey, 32 (49.2%) were general practitioners and 33 (50.8%) were fellows and consultants. Only six physicians (9.2%) had formal training on DDH management. Twenty respondents (30.8%) had poor knowledge, while 45 (69.2%) had sufficient knowledge of DDH. Most of the respondents believed in the importance of asking about risk factors, the presence of DDH screening protocols and community awareness, and 89.2% of the respondents believed they need to go for further training about DDH. Fifty-nine respondents (90.8%) would refer a DDH case to an orthopedic surgeon when there are positive findings by a radiograph or ultrasound. Forty-two (64.6%) never examined the hip for DDH, and 30 (46.2%) never referred a DDH case. Conclusion: Knowledge of DDH among our PCP directly involved in the screening and management of DDH is sufficient. However, there is a discordance between knowledge to attitude and practice.

Dysplasia Of The Hip

Background: Developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) is classified as a group of malformations, varying from abnormal acetabulum (dysplasia) and mild subluxation of the femoral head to fixed displacement (congenital dislocation). This study aimed to assess the knowledge level and its determinants regarding DDH in children among pregnant females in the Aseer region of southwestern Saudi Arabia. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted targeting all pregnant females in the Aseer region between 1 February 2021 and 1 May 2021. A pre-structured online questionnaire was constructed by the researchers to obtain the participating females’ bio-demographic data (including age, education status, and obstetric history) and awareness regarding DDH. The last section asked for their source of information regarding DDH. Results: A total of 253 pregnant females (aged between 18 and 45 years; mean age = 30.5 ± 10.2 years) fulfilling the inclusion criteria completed the study questionnaire. About 5% of the females reported having a child with DDH, and 166 (65.6%) pregnant females knew about DDH. Additionally, 110 (43.5%) females reported that they know about how DDH is treated, and 99 (39.1%) knew about DDH complications. The most commonly reported source of information was relatives and friends (44.3%), followed by social media (11.9%) and study and work (7.1%). Conclusions: Pregnant females in the Aseer region have poor knowledge and awareness about DDH and its causes, treatment modalities, and complications. Higher knowledge was associated with either high parity or having a child with DDH.

Objectives: Clubfoot is a burden affecting 150,000 newborns worldwide every year. This study looked at the prevalence of clubfoot at King Saud Medical City (KSMC) and examined the risk factors associated with clubfoot in Saudi Arabia. Methods: Data were collected through the medical system (Medisys) and the database of the orthopedic department intern at KSMC to determine the prevalence of clubfoot using the births recorded from 2015 to 2019 and reviewing their medical files. The epidemiological description of Saudi clubfoot patients was attained by collecting a sample of 100 patients from the clubfoot clinic database. Results: A total of 18,515 births at KSMC from 2015 to 2019 were evaluated. It was found that 42 patients were affected by clubfoot resulting in a birth prevalence of 2.3/1000 (0.23%) among Saudis at KSMC. Out of 100 clubfoot patients, 93% had no maternal history of chronic disease, while 31% of the cases were a product of consanguineous marriages. About 15% of the patients had an associated developmental dysplasia of the hip. Conclusion: This study estimates the prevalence of clubfoot in one major medical center in Saudi Arabia to be 2.3/1000. The findings support the data reported in the literature that males are more affected by clubfoot than females, with twice the likelihood that males will be affected by clubfoot. This study will provide an initial look at clubfoot in Saudi Arabia, which can build a base for future studies.
