Introduction to the Craniofacial Collaboration UK: A Developmental Screening Protocol at the United Kingdom's Four Highly Specialized Craniofacial Centers.

ABSTRACT

The clinical psychologists at the 4 highly specialized craniofacial centers in the United Kingdom have developed a systematic, developmental screening protocol, called the Craniofacial Collaboration UK (CC-UK). Previous systematic reviews of the literature into the developmental sequelae of single-suture craniosynostosis have identified a number of methodological flaws which the CC-UK seeks to avoid. This study presents an introduction to the rationale for its development, as well as the methodology of the CC-UK.
