description OBJECTIVES/GOALS: Strip craniectomy with orthotic helmet therapy (SCOT) and open cranial vault reconstruction (OCVR) are mainstay surgical treatments for sagittal craniosynostosis. The purpose of this study is to compare long-term morphologic outcomes of the skull, subjective appearance, and perioperative outcomes between patients who underwent SCOT and OCVR. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: Patients who underwent SCOT or OCVR for isolated, non-syndromic sagittal craniosynostosis with preoperative computerized tomography (CT) imaging were identified at UCSF between 2000 and 2020. Perioperative outcomes were extracted from the medical chart. Anthropometric measurements will be used to assess baseline severity using preoperative CT imaging and postoperative skull morphology using 3D camera imaging. Patient satisfaction surveys will be administered to parents at the time of postoperative 3D imaging. Subjective appearance will be rated among adolescents and craniofacial surgeons using patients’ postoperative 3D imaging. Descriptive statistics will be calculated using Student’s t test and Mann-Whitney U. Chi-square tests and Fisher exact tests will be used to compare categorical outcomes. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: 47 patients were included in the study (18 SCOT and 29 OCVR) with similar follow-up between groups (SCOT 2.3 +/- 1.5, OCVR 2.6 +/- 2.0). There were no significant differences in sex or race. OCVR had longer operative times (p-value 0.0003), higher estimated blood loss (p DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE: SCOT was associated with superior perioperative outcomes compared with OCVR due to its minimally invasive technique. Our results for long-term healing outcomes and subjective appearance may further guide craniofacial surgeons in selecting the most optimal operative technique.
