• Not fool proof
• ? Tie up results / safety net for hospital follow up

Any abnormality
• Refer URGENTLY to ophthalmology
• Each 3 week delay leads to drop in snellen acuity by one line
![Page 22: The 6 week check](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081604/5681657b550346895dd810ac/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)

– Aortic stenosis• Pulmonary - ? Radiate to back
– Ductus arteriosus– Pulmonary stenosis– ASD– Coarctation
• Mitral- low pitch rumble - bell– VSD
• Apex– Mitral regurgitation

• Other pathology
![Page 31: The 6 week check](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081604/5681657b550346895dd810ac/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)

![Page 32: The 6 week check](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081604/5681657b550346895dd810ac/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Hypoplastic left heart
![Page 33: The 6 week check](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081604/5681657b550346895dd810ac/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Hips
• Developmental Dysplasia of the hips
• Progressive condition• Easy to miss• Needs regular checks
![Page 34: The 6 week check](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081604/5681657b550346895dd810ac/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Size of the problem
• DDH affects around 2000 infants per year• Incidence varies according to criteria
– Approx 1:1000 actually dislocated– Approx 1:100 degree of instability
• Around 4% of our babies get USS
![Page 35: The 6 week check](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081604/5681657b550346895dd810ac/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
What is it?
• Developmental growth disorder• Needs early detection• 29% of hip replacments in the under 60s• National clinical screening from late 1960• USS from mid 1980s• Xray – no use as joint cartilaginous
![Page 36: The 6 week check](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081604/5681657b550346895dd810ac/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
What are the risk factors?
![Page 37: The 6 week check](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081604/5681657b550346895dd810ac/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Risk factors• Breech – >36 weeks
– 23% of all DDH• Family history of DDH needing treatment
• Multiple with 1 twin being breech• Large girl – hormones!• Oligohydramnios• Associated talipes / positional problems• Majority have NO risk factors
![Page 38: The 6 week check](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081604/5681657b550346895dd810ac/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
USS –when?
• USS gold standard test for hip dysplasia
• Normal clinical exam – within 6 weeks• Expert opinion - within 8 weeks
• Abnormal clinical exam – within 2 weeks• Expert opinion - within 3 weeks
![Page 39: The 6 week check](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081604/5681657b550346895dd810ac/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
USS them all??
• Some centres do• Cost – £43• High False positive rate• Low late presentations• Additional cases treated – many would
resolve• Cochrane review – no change in treatment
/ late diagnosis

![Page 46: The 6 week check](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081604/5681657b550346895dd810ac/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
If test abnormal
• Refer directly for urgent expert opinion• USS to be done
• To be seen by 10 weeks of age
![Page 47: The 6 week check](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081604/5681657b550346895dd810ac/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
Treatment
• Pavlik harness– Rash, femoral nerve palsy, pressure sores
• Surgical reduction of the femoral head
• Needs long term follow up regarding actual outcomes
![Page 48: The 6 week check](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081604/5681657b550346895dd810ac/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
Practical bit….
![Page 49: The 6 week check](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081604/5681657b550346895dd810ac/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
Testis
• Cryptorchidism affects 2-6% boys at birth• Risk factors
– Pre term / low birth weight– First degree relative
• Complications– Increased risk of malignancy– Reduced fertility
![Page 50: The 6 week check](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081604/5681657b550346895dd810ac/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
Examination

What to do?
• Bilateral absence– URGENT referral – needs endocrine investigation
• Unilateral absence– Review at 6 months– Refer if still absent– Surgery by 13 months
– If girl and inguinal hernia -always think – is this an ovary or ??testicle?
![Page 52: The 6 week check](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081604/5681657b550346895dd810ac/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)

Neurology / development
• Fix and follow• Head held in line in ventral suspension• Symmetrical moro• Smiles
![Page 54: The 6 week check](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081604/5681657b550346895dd810ac/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
