Multicentre approach to epidemiological aspects of craniosynostosis in Germany

We know of no current published data on the prevalence of craniosynostosis in Germany, so our objective in this study was to contribute to the limited knowledge of its epidemiology by assessing time trends, the frequency of prenatal diagnosis, and the timing of diagnosis and treatment. Data were collected in Saxony-Anhalt during the period 2000–17, and we designed a retrospective multicentre cohort study. The prevalence was 4.8 cases of craniosynostosis/10 000 births, and did not increase during that time.
