Variations in the use of diagnostic criteria for developmental dysplasia of the hip
Andreas Roposch,Andreas Roposch,Liang Q. Liu,Liang Q. Liu,Evangelia Protopapa,Evangelia Protopapa +5 more
TL;DR: The consistency of specialists in rating diagnostic criteria for DDH was lower than expected, and there was considerable geographic variation in terms of how specialists assigned importance ratings of the diagnostic criteria; these findings are somewhat counterintuitive.

Abstract: Background
Wide variation exists in reported prevalence estimates and management standards of developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH). Discrepancies in diagnosticians’ opinions may explain some of this variation.

Evaluation and Referral for Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip in Infants
TL;DR: The purpose of this clinical report was to provide literature-based updated direction for the clinician in screening and referral for DDH, with the primary goal of preventing and/or detecting a dislocated hip by 6 to 12 months of age in an otherwise healthy child.

Risk Factor Assessment and a Ten-Year Experience of DDH Screening in a Well-Child Population.
TL;DR: Breech presentation, female sex, torticollis, and multiple pregnancy were found to be the risk factors of this disorder and infants with these risk factors should be investigated carefully for DDH.
Developmental Dysplasia of Hip: Perspectives in Genetic Screening
TL;DR: Early detection of DDH has a big chance to help in preventing further disability and improve the psychological health and quality of life in those children, so it is important to establish a universal screening program along with the genetic counseling.

TL;DR: Pavlik harness treatment of stable but sonographic dysplastic hips has no effect on acetabular development and this multicenter randomized trial aimed at objectifying the effect of abduction treatment versus active surveillance in infants of 3 to 4 months of age is recommended.
Functional treatment of developmental hip dysplasia with the Tübingen hip flexion splint
TL;DR: In infants with DDH, the Tübingen hip flexion splint is an effective form of treatment, but due to its different design it offers the advantages of preventing hip adduction and leaving the knee and ankle joints free.

Coefficient alpha and the internal structure of tests.
TL;DR: In this paper, a general formula (α) of which a special case is the Kuder-Richardson coefficient of equivalence is shown to be the mean of all split-half coefficients resulting from different splittings of a test, therefore an estimate of the correlation between two random samples of items from a universe of items like those in the test.
Intraclass correlations: uses in assessing rater reliability.
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present guidelines for choosing among six different forms of the intraclass correlation for reliability studies in which n target are rated by k judges, and the confidence intervals for each of the forms are reviewed.
