ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT Premature craniosynostosis is a rare condition, with a wide range of incidence estimations in the literature. The aim of this study was to establish the current incidence among the Swedish population. Since the surgical care for these children is centralized to the 2 centers of Sahlgrenska University Hospital and Uppsala University Hospital, the 2 craniofacial hospital registries were examined for surgically treated children, all having a computed tomography verified diagnosis. Results show an incidence of 7.7 cases per 10,000 live births, including 0.60/10,000 syndromic craniosynostosis. Due to information programs among health care staff and a system for early diagnosis through rapid communication, these results seem to mirror the true incidence of craniosynostosis in the Swedish population. The updated incidence data will facilitate healthcare planning and make future studies of possible changes in craniosynostosis incidence more accurate.
