Previous research has suggested an association between plagiocephaly and developmental delay. However, study samples drawn from children seen in subspecialty clinics increase the potential for selection and referral bias. Our study evaluates the association between plagiocephaly and developmental delay and the timing of these diagnoses in a primary care setting, where plagiocephaly is commonly diagnosed and managed.
