Article Synopsis
- - The study evaluated the reliability of speech data from the Swedish quality registry for children with cleft lip and palate (CLP) at age 10, using a retrospective design involving 121 participants.
- - Six independent raters compared audio recordings against registry data to assess factors like the percentage of consonants correct (PCC) and velopharyngeal competence (VPC), using statistical methods to measure agreement.
- - Results showed excellent reliability for PCC and non-oral speech errors, with good to excellent rankings for quality indicators, while VPC showed varying levels of reliability that warrant cautious interpretation in research contexts.
Introduction: Speech in children with cleft palate can be affected by velopharyngeal dysfunction, which persists after primary palate repair. The incidence of surgery to correct velopharyngeal dysfunction in this patient group has previously been reported as 2.6-37%.
