In the three-year period ending December 1986, 31 infants followed by the Cleft Palate Team of our institution were evaluated with BERA one or more times. Seventy-four percent presented auditory threshold elevation on initial examination; none was observed to resolve spontaneously in the first year of life. Myringotomy and tympanostomy tube insertion normalized auditory thresholds effectively in most children with serous otitis media. In a few cases, however, recovery required several months. BERA can assist the early detection of children with sensorineural hearing loss. It may also be valuable as an additional consideration in selecting treatment of serous otitis media in these children. Precise guidelines as to the ideal time to perform tympanostomy requires further substantiation of the effects of early hearing loss on speech and language development.

Background: Epidemiologic data on the number of cleft lip and/or palate (orofacial cleft (OFC)) births in Switzerland are currently sparse. However, this knowledge is essential for better understanding the etiologies underlying the various cleft phenotypes and providing expectant parents with the best possible healthcare planning and counseling.
Methods: This is the first descriptive study to report data on the prevalence of the various cleft types, their sex, and regional distributions in Switzerland.

Liverpool Clinical Trials Centre, University of Liverpool, Liverpool, UK.
Background/aims: When conducting a randomised controlled trial in surgery, it is important to consider surgical learning, where surgeons' familiarity with one, or both, of the interventions increases during the trial. If present, learning may compromise trial validity. We demonstrate a statistical investigation into surgical learning within a trial of cleft palate repair.
