Correlation Between Demographic Variables and Complications in Nonsyndromic Craniosynostosis.

ABSTRACT

PURPOSE: This retrospective cross-sectional, observational study aims to determine the correlation between demographic variables and nonsyndromic craniosynostosis. METHODS: A cross-sectional study was carried out. The inclusion criteria were nonsyndromic craniosynostosis and the exclusion criteria were patients who did not have complete records. RESULTS: The sample included 49 patients and mainly women. Patients with more than 4 days in the intensive care unit were related with more complications. Intracranial Hypertension was seen predominantly in patients between 6 and 8 months P =0007. CONCLUSION: Some variables can modificate complications risk but future studies are needed to further investigate the influence of such variables on craniofacial care.
