Impact of Neighborhood Deprivation and Social Vulnerability on Outcomes and Interventions in Patients with Cleft Palate.

Objective: To examine whether neighborhood disadvantage impacts length of follow-up, interventions, and outcomes for patients with cleft palate.

Design: Retrospective cohort.

Setting: Cleft Palate Craniofacial Institute Database at St.

Multidisciplinary Optimal Outcomes Reporting and Team Clinic Retention in Isolated Nonsyndromic Cleft Palate.

Objective: Optimal Outcomes Reporting was recently introduced to categorize outcomes after cleft palate repair. We seek to propose an expanded version of Optimal Outcomes Reporting and to determine if correlation exists between the expanded outcomes and persistence with team care follow-up through age 9.

Design: Retrospective cohort study.

PET-CT and the detection of the asymptomatic recurrence or second primary lesions in the treated head and neck cancer patient.

Objectives/hypothesis: The role of follow-up and the detection of recurrent or new primary disease in cancer management remains to be defined. Specifically, the effectiveness and impact on survival of imaging studies that detects disease before it is symptomatic or noted on exam is unknown.

Study Design: Retrospective chart review.
