Summary: | Objectives: To present descriptive epidemiology of Orofacial Clefts and
to determine the association of syndromic forms with antenatal
high-risk conditions, preterm birth, and comorbidities among
nestedseries of cases. Methods: A study of nested-series of cases was
conducted. Frequencies of cleft type, associated congenital anomalies,
syndromic, non-syndromic and multiple malformation forms, and
distribution of Orofacial Clefts according to sex and affected-side
were determined. Odds ratios were calculated as measures of association
between syndromic forms and antenatal high-risk conditions, preterm
birth and comorbidities. A total of three hundred and eleven patients
with Orofacial Clefts were assessed in a 12-month period. Results: The
most frequent type of Orofacial Clefts was cleft lip and palate, this
type of cleft was more frequent in males, whereas cleft palate occurred
more often in females. The most common cases occurred as non-syndromic
forms. Aarskog-Scott syndrome showed the highest frequency amongst
syndromic forms. Hypertensive disorders in pregnancy, developmental
dysplasia of the hip, central nervous diseases and respiratory failure
showed significant statistical associations (p |
