Study Summary
The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of the Tortle Midliner positioning system in prevention and/or treatment of dolichocephaly, which can develop in preterm infants during the hospital stay. Specific Aim: Determine if the use of the Tortle Midliner is a more effective prevention and treatment strategy for dolichocephaly than current standard of care intervention in the Duke Intensive Care Nursery (ICN).
Primary Outcome
CI was determined by calculating the ratio of the biparietal diameter (BiPD) over the occipitofrontal diameter (OFD). The BiPD is defined as the widest transverse diameter of the head. BiPD was measured from the most prominent lateral point on each side of the skull in the area of parietal and temporal bones. The OFD is defined as the diameter of the head from the most prominent midline point of the frontal bone (glabella) to the occipital protuberance. While various reported ranges exist for cr
