The 2016 Kids\u2019 Inpatient Database was queried to identify patients aged 3 years or younger who underwent craniectomy for craniosynostosis. Multivariable regression modeled treatment type based on patient-level (gender, race, income, comorbidities, payer) and facility-level (bed size, region, teaching status) variables, and was used to assess outcomes. The weighted sample included 474 patients, of whom 81.9% (N\u200a=\u200a388) of patients underwent open repair and 18.1% (N\u200a=\u200a86) underwent endoscopic repair. A total of 81.1% of patients were under 1 year of age and 12.0% were syndromic. Patients were more likely to be treated open if they were older (odds ratio [OR] 3.07, <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic>\u200a=\u200a0.005) or syndromic (OR 8.56, <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic>\u200a=\u200a0.029). Patients who underwent open repair were more likely to receive transfusions (OR 2.86, <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic>\u200a=\u200a0.021), and have longer lengths of stay (OR 1.02, <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic>\u200a&lt;\u200a0.001) and more costly hospitalizations (OR 5228.78, <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic>\u200a=\u200a0.018). Complications did not significantly vary between procedure type. The authors conclude that United States national data confirm benefits of endoscopic surgery, including a lower risk of transfusion, shorter hospital stay, and lower hospital costs, without a significant change in the rate of inpatient complications. Racial, socioeconomic, and geographic factors were not significantly associated with treatment type or perioperative surgical outcomes. Future studies are needed to further investigate the influence of such variables on access to craniofacial care.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1097\/scs.0000000000007178","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,10,14]],"date-time":"2020-10-14T15:06:38Z","timestamp":1602687998000},"page":"149-153","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/lww.0000000000001000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":19,"title":["Nationwide Perioperative Analysis of Endoscopic Versus Open Surgery for Craniosynostosis: Equal Access, Unequal Outcomes"],"prefix":"10.1097","volume":"32","author":[{"given":"Danielle H.","family":"Rochlin","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Clifford C.","family":"Sheckter","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hermann Peter","family":"Lorenz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Rohit K.","family":"Khosla","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"276","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,10,12]]},"reference":[{"key":"R3-20250803","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"622","DOI":"10.3171\/2019.7.PEDS18585","article-title":"A review of the management of single-suture craniosynostosis, past, present, and future","volume":"24","author":"Proctor","year":"2019","journal-title":"J Neurosurg Pediatr"},{"key":"R4-20250803","first-page":"273","article-title":"Total facial osteotomy.
