PONS-BONALS, Alicia; PONS-BONALS, Leticia; HIDALGO-MARTINEZ, Sandra Margarita y SOSA-FERREYRA, Carlos Francisco. Clinical-epidemiological study in children with cleft lip palate in a secondary-level hospital. Bol. Med. Hosp. Infant. Mex. [online]. 2017, vol.74, n.2, pp.107-121. ISSN 1665-1146. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.bmhimx.2016.11.008.
Background:
One of the most common congenital disorders that affects the facial structures is the cleft lip palate (CLP). The aim of this study was to generate the clinical-epidemiological profile of CLP patients from Hospital de Especialidades del Niño y la Mujer (HENM) Dr. Felipe Nuñez Lara, from the Ministry of Health, Queretaro, Mexico, from 2011 to 2014, who received treatment from the Cleft Lip Palate Clinic in order to provide interdisciplinary treatments for CLP patients based on the information from the pediatric records.
Methods:
Retrospective, cross-sectional, observational study using univariate analysis frequencies for qualitative variables; central statistical and dispersion for quantitative variables and clinical profile. One hundred records were reviewed, from which 15 were discarded for being syndromic cases. Epidemiological, clinical, and socio-demographic variables were studied.
Results:
The epidemiological profile (variables associated with mother’s pregnancy, patient’s health at birth, nutritional and psychomotor development; family medical records, addictions, and socioeconomic factors) and clinical profile (disease classification by sex, structure, and side; surgeries classification and order in which they took place) of the treated population were registered.
Conclusions:
The results showed the need to standardize the data registration on medical records to improve the monitoring and treatment of patients and emphasize actions to maintain low incidence of CLP in Queretaro.
