Perry DC, et al. - This research strived to illuminate the epidemiology of slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE). Additionally, it probed the connections with childhood obesity and socioeconomic deprivation along with the factors linked to diagnostic delays. The data shed light on a strong tie-up between SCFE with both area-level socioeconomic deprivation and predisease obesity. Maximum patients with SCFE were misdiagnosed initially. It was deduced that those patients reporting knee pain served as at-risk targets.
