Children’s Hip Predictive (CHiP) Score: A Triage Tool for Hip Dislocation in Children Referred With Suspected Hip Dysplasia

Conclusion: We found that a novel clinical prediction score, based on readily available history and examination parameters strongly predicted risk of dislocations in hip dysplasia referral. It is hoped that this tool could be utilized to optimize resource allocation and may be of particular benefit in less well-resourced health care systems. Level of Evidence: Level II.
