“…In regards to the primary knowledge about DDH, according to the findings in current study, caregivers who have no primary knowledge about DDH represent the largest proportion than those with knowledge. This result agrees with (15).This study found that the majority had a low knowledge level regarding DDH. As for the family history, the study states that it is not found in most of the sample study (62%); this finding comes along with the study of ( 16) which found that most of participant are negative in the results of family history in (77.8%).…”

“…This factor showed a correlation between our study and a previous study, which reported that respondents became aware of DDH because a family member was affected by it [10]. In comparison to another study conducted in 2022 in the Riyadh region, Saudi Arabia, which showed that 72.8% had a low knowledge level regarding DDH, our study's findings are consistent [13]. Around 48.9% had moderate awareness, and 37.8% had low awareness.…”

Background: Developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) is a disorder in which the hip joint does not develop normally in the pediatric age group. It is caused by a confluence of hereditary and environmental factors. We aimed to examine knowledge and awareness of DDH among the general population of the southern and western regions of Saudi Arabia.Methodology: A cross-sectional survey-based study was conducted in the western and southern regions of Saudi Arabia. This study included adult male and female participants above 18 years of age. Data were collected using a validated electronic questionnaire that was disseminated via social media platforms. All data were analyzed using IBM SPSS Statistics for Windows, Version 23.0 (IBM Corp., Armonk, NY).Results: In this study, 1,232 participants were surveyed in Saudi Arabia. The majority were between 21 and 30 years old (663, 53.8%), unmarried (690, 56%), and had a baccalaureate or diploma certificate (886, 71.9%). Regarding knowledge of DDH, 86.4% of participants had poor knowledge of the causes of DDH, and 740 (60%) had poor overall knowledge of DDH. However, 492 (40%) participants had good knowledge. Respondents with a higher monthly income, those who were mothers, and those who obtained information from social media had a better awareness level. Concerning treatment, 531 (43.1%) participants were unsure about the best treatment for DDH, and 850 (69%) believed that early treatment was better.Conclusions: According to our literature, DDH is highly prevalent among Saudi populations. However, our findings indicate that the majority of the Saudi population residing in the western and southern regions of Saudi Arabia lacks basic knowledge of DDH. All capable facilities, such as medical schools, hospitals, and primary healthcare centers, must impart cultural education about DDH to address this awareness gap.

Background: Developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) is a condition where there is an abnormal relationship between the femoral head and acetabulum. DDH is prevalent in Jordan, where late presentations of complicated cases are common due to the absence of a national screening program and cultural behaviors that can exacerbate DDH progression. The study aims to prove that the absence of a nationwide screening program and low awareness of the population about DDH are the primary reasons for the high incidence of late-presenting DDH in Jordan. The study highlights the need for addressing modifiable risk factors like swaddling and correcting common misconceptions such as using multiple diapers as a treatment option.Methods: The cross-sectional study evaluated the awareness level of DDH among Jordan residents above the age of 18. An online questionnaire was used, containing two sections. The Chi-square test was used to analyze the level of awareness scores according to demographic variables and cultural norms such as tight swaddling and using multiple diapers. The sample was categorized into three groups based on their scores: low awareness (0-4), moderate awareness (5-8), and high awareness (9-12).Results: The study included 1013 participants. The results indicated that 48.9% had moderate awareness, 37.8% had low awareness, and 13.3% had high awareness of DDH. Gender and place of residence had no significant relationship with the level of awareness. However, the majority of participants with high and moderate levels of awareness were in the 25-40 years age group, and healthcare workers had the highest levels of awareness. The study showed that 33.9% of participants gained their knowledge from either relatives or self-experience, while awareness campaigns were the least assessed source of information with only 2.9% of participants getting their information from them. The study also revealed misconceptions regarding DDH, such as the belief that tight swaddling and wearing many diapers reduced the risk of developing DDH. Additionally, about half of the participants were unaware of the presence of screening guidelines for DDH. Conclusion:The study underscores the urgent need to establish a national screening program and awareness campaigns to increase knowledge about DDH and prevent late presentations of complicated cases in Jordan.The study findings provide essential information for the development of future DDH campaigns and screening protocols.
