Neurodevelopmental disorders in children with cleft lip and palate: a systematic review.
Eur Child Adolesc Psychiatry
December 2024
Individuals with orofacial clefts (OFCs) may be at an increased risk of developing autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). This systematic review provides a summary of the most recent data regarding the prevalence of ASD and ADHD in the OFC population and compares this to the general paediatric population. Multiple databases were searched including PubMed/Medline and Embase in July 2024, following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses guidelines and was registered in PROSPERO (CRD42024565219).

- The study aimed to identify patient factors that affect speech after cleft palate repair by analyzing a large amount of existing literature.
- The review included 383 studies and 47,658 participants, focusing on various factors like cleft type, biological sex, and associated syndromes that impact speech outcomes.
- Results showed that specific cleft types and syndromes correlated with speech function, but the overall study quality was low, highlighting the need for better data collection in future research.

Cleft Palate Craniofac J
February 2023
Background: Although the United Kingdom (UK) cleft surgeons follow a similar training pathway, and cleft centers adhere to similar protocols regarding the timing of palate surgery and surgical technique, speech outcomes still vary between centers.
Objective: To explore the training experiences of consultant cleft lip and palate (CL/P) surgeons, performing a Sommerlad radical intravelar veloplasty (IVVP) and their approach to teaching others.
Design: An exploratory, qualitative approach was adopted to understand the views of UK cleft surgeons performing a Sommerlad radical IVVP and discuss what was important during training and upon qualifying as a consultant.
