Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the associations between deformational plagiocephaly (DP) and other health issues in children under two years old, emphasizing the unclear nature and prevalence of these comorbidities.
- A comprehensive search of various databases led to the inclusion of 27 studies, but many showed selection bias as they predominantly involved patients from specialized clinics.
- The findings suggested potential links between DP and developmental or language delays in infants, but the poor quality of the data prevented any definitive conclusions about prevalence or the influence of age and sex on these associations.

Article Synopsis
- Deformational plagiocephaly (DP) is a common infant cranial shape disorder marked by flattening of the skull, often linked to developmental delays; however, the specific associated impairments remain unclear.
- A systematic review will be conducted to analyze literature from 1992 to 2021, focusing on the comorbidities of DP in children under two years old, using established databases and specific inclusion criteria.
- Ethics approval isn’t necessary since the review uses publicly available data; results will be published and presented at conferences to share findings with the wider academic community.
