Incidence trends and risk factors for Perthes’ disease in children born between 1985 and 2016
Using publicly available data, we observed a declining incidence of Perthes' disease in Denmark over a 32-year study period. Our findings also confirm positive associations between Perthes' disease and various perinatal conditions, coagulation defects, and congenital malformations, highlighting potential aetiological pathways for further investigation.
