CPAP caps are associated with restricted head growth and altered skull morphology in newborn infants
CPAP caps are associated with vertical and horizontal head growth restriction and altered infant head morphology, as indicated by increasing eccentricity. The correlation of the altered growth pattern with neurodevelopmental outcome was negligible. Our findings have clinical implications for the assessment of head growth development during CPAP therapy.
