Nonsyndromic Craniosynostosis Correlation Between Ethnicity, Race, and Pattern of Affected Suture Type: Meta-Analysis.

Background: Previous studies have sought to analyze risk factors associated with craniosynostosis and while syndromic craniosynostosis is often linked to genetic mutations, the factors impacting nonsyndromic cases are less investigated. The aim of current meta-analysis is to evaluate the relationship between ethnicity and suture type in nonsyndromic craniosynostosis patients.

Methods: The search term "craniosynostosis [Title/Abstract] AND (race [Title/Abstract] OR ethnicity [Title/Abstract])) NOT (syndrome [Title/Abstract])" was used to search the PubMed, Cochrane, and MEDLINE databases.

Diversity of Leadership and Its Influence on Diversity of Integrated Plastic Surgery Residency Cohorts: A Study in the Virtual Era.
