OBJECTIVES/GOALS: Several studies compare perioperative parameters and postoperative morphology of open cranial vault remodeling (CVR) and endoscopic-assisted craniectomy (EAC) in the treatment of sagittal craniosynostosis. However, data on neurodevelopmental outcomes comparing these techniques is lacking. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: Patients with repaired sagittal synostosis were enrolled from a single tertiary care center between five and fifteen years of age. Patients with any craniofacial syndrome (e.g., 22q11.2 deletion) or other medical conditions that could affect neurodevelopment were excluded. Neurodevelopment was measured using the Differential Ability Scale-II (DAS-II). The General Cognitive Ability (GCA) score was the primary outcome measure, describing overall intellectual ability. Secondary outcome measures were measurements of cephalic index (CI) from pre- and postoperative imaging studies. Family socioeconomic status (SES) was estimated using the Hollingshead index (total score, continuous). RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: 26 patients [10 CVR (2 Female:8 Male), 16 EAC (6 F:10 M)] were studied. Mean age at repair was greater with CVR than EAC (15.5 ± 8.5 months vs 3.5 ± 1.3 months, respectively, p < 0.001). Mean age at DAS-II testing was 9.0 ± 2.2 years. Patients GCA scores were within the average range relative to test norms (CVR 95.7 ± 15.4 vs EAC 102.6 ± 17.4). After adjusting for SES and preoperative CI, group differences in GCA were modest and statistically nonsignificant (p = 0.646). GCA scores were associated with SES (p = 0.054) but not preop CI (p = 0.479). Differences between CVR and EAC were not statistically significant for any of the imaging parameters (pre and postop CI, pre to postop change in CI, or age at postop imaging; 0.131 <= p <= 0.867). None of the independent variables were significantly associated with postop CI (0.140 <= p <= 0.689). DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE: Interim analysis of the preliminary data suggests no association between surgical procedure and cognitive and morphological outcomes at school-age in patients with sagittal craniosynostosis who underwent CVR versus EAC. Collection of data continues, with the goal to enroll 50 participants in each group by 2022.
