Prevalência dos tipos de fissura em pacientes com fissuras labiopalatinas atendidos em um Hospital Pediátrico do Nordeste brasileiro

Abstract

As variáveis estudadas foram sexo, tipo de fissura e lado afetado. Os tipos de fissura foram avaliados segundo a classificação de Spina. As informações foram armazenadas em um banco de dados e submetidas à análise estatística descritiva. Resultados: Cinquenta e três por cento da população amostral era do sexo masculino. Dentre todos os tipos de fissuras labiopalatinas, as fissuras transforame foram as mais frequentes (72,6%). Com relação ao lado acometido, as fissuras unilaterais esquerdas foram as mais frequentes (61,3%). Observou-se maior prevalência de fissura pós-forame no sexo feminino e de fissura transforame no sexo masculino.Descritores: Fissura palatina. Fissura labial. Incidência. ABSTRACT Objectives:The aim of this study was to assess the prevalence of cleft lip and palate in a Pediatric Center of Northeast of Brazil and to determine which types of these conditions that most affect these children. Methods: From June 2008 to February 2010, 551 children with cleft lip and palate followed by the NAIF (Ceara, Northeast of Brazil) were chosen to participate of the present study. The analyzed variables were sex, type of cleft lip and affected side of the lip. Cleft types were evaluated according to the Spina classification. All information was stored in a database and subjected to descriptive statistical analysis. Results: Fifty-three percent of the assessed population were male. Among all types of cleft lip and palate, the trans-incisive foramen clefts were the most frequent (72.6%). Regarding the affected side, left clefts were most common (61.3%). A higher prevalence of trans-incisive foramen cleft in males and post-incisive foramen cleft in girls was observed.

Nursing workload in specialized Semi-intensive Therapy unit: workforce size criteria

“…In this study, when analyzing the characteristics of patients in relation to the gender, it was observed prevalence of female, corroborating the literature that isolate cleft lip and palate are prevalent in the female gender (12) . One should consider that the Pierre Robin sequence is the most incident pathology in this unit, being characterized by cleft lip and palate in 90% of cases (13) .…”

Association of the profile of individuals with cleft lip/palate with the beginning of orthopedic/ orthodontic treatment

“…The trans-foramen cleft was statistically more prevalent (p<0.05), which confirms the findings of the literature: on the study of Cymrot et al [6], 72.60% of the cases were of trans-foramen clefts; in the study of Freitas et al [10], 62.00% of cases; and Di Ninno et al [7], 49.00% of cases. The rationale behind this high frequency is that the environmental factors to which the embryo was exposed could affect both the primary development of lip and palate and the secondary palate, because although they are embryologically distinct processes, they occur in an approximate period.…”

Phonetic and Phonological Aspects in Children with Operated Cleft Lip and Palate

“…The occurrence of cleft lip and palate was predominant, as the literature demonstrates [13,14]. It is still possible to attribute the speech alterations to the type of fissure most found in the sample, because the language are directly related to more extensive clefts [15,16].…”
