Abstract:
Objective To explore the clinical characteristics of head deformities in infants aged 3-12 months and analyze the related factors that affect infant positional deformities.Methods A total of 521 infants aged 3-12 months from August 2022 to February 2024 in the Third Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University were selected as the subjects.Infants were divided into normal groups(n=307)and positional deformities(n=214)according to the head shape assessment.The general,high-risk factors during pregnancy,mother's education level and baby's sleeping posture were compared between the two groups.Logistic regression was used to analyze the influencing factors of positional deformities.Results Among infants with positional deformities,it was more common at the age of 3-6 months,and the proportion of males was higher than that of females.There were significant differences in the factors such as birth weight,body mass index(BMI),premature delivery,hospitalization history in neonatal intensive care unit(NICU),high-risk factors during pregnancy,twins,sleeping posture,and mother's education level between two groups(P<0.05).Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that hospitalization history in NICU,twins,high-risk factors during pregnancy were independent risk factors for infant's positional deformities.Infant's mixed sleeping position and mother's high education level were the protective factors against the infant's positional deformities.Conclusion BMI,hospitalization history in NICU,twins,high-risk factors during pregnancy,infant sleeping posture and mother's education level are closely related to the infant's positional deformities.
