Objective: This study aims to map the literature on screening, diagnosis, treatment and outcomes of developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) in the Brazilian population aged 0-18 years, to describe regional variations in its presentation and management.
Design: Scoping review.
Data Sources: PubMed/MEDLINE, Web of Science, Scopus, "Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde" and "Biblioteca Digital Brasileira de Teses e Dissertações".
Despite recent advances in understanding the connection between the gut microbiota and the adult brain, significant knowledge gaps remain regarding how gut inflammation affects brain development.

The circumstances in which this condition is detected and managed may be heterogeneous in Brazil owing to its large territory and regional socio-economic differences. Mapping DDH perspectives in a country is fundamental for designing guidelines and strategies for public policy.
