“…Children with CLP in Malaysia receive the necessary treatment, but there is limited study on the overall outcome of the care being provided (Lee et al, 2004;Zreaqat et al, 2009;2012;Mohd Ibrahim et al, 2015;Cheong et al, 2016;Zulkipli et al, 2018). The overall outcome of care might vary between regions because some centres have a well-coordinated, multidisciplinary team that meeting on a monthly basis, whereas in some regions, cleft care is poorly centralised and provided by individual clinicians (Mohd Ibrahim et al, 2015).…”

Cleft lip and palate (CLP) is one of the most prevalent birth defects. CLP can have a profound physical impact on the child and a psychological impact on both the parents and child. The systemic collection and audit of data on CLP has traditionally been an integral part of comprehensive cleft care. This requires the development of a national cleft registry. This article describes the current orthodontic cleft care, the benefits of a registry and assesses the challenges faced in developing a national cleft registry in Malaysia from an orthodontic point of view.

“…Abnormal middle ear status was highly prevalent in children and young adults with CLP than typically developing peers [ 18 , 19 ]. Specifically in Malaysia, 25% to 30% of Malaysian children with CLP were reported to present with hearing loss in two separate studies [ 20 , 21 ]. Although abnormal middle ear status decreased significantly with age, the hearing threshold in the higher frequencies did not improve [ 22 ], leading to a challenge in educational attainment such as reading and speaking [ 23 ].…”

Previous research on children with cleft lip and palate (CLP) reported unequivocal findings with regard to language skills, with the majority suggesting persistent difficulties in early childhood. While expressive language deficits improved with age, receptive language skills were consistently lower than peers. Further study investigating the long term and persistent impact of language deficits amongst school-aged children with CLP is warranted. This was a cross-sectional study, aimed to determine the language abilities and explore the associated risk factors in Malay speaking children with CLP in Malaysia. Fifty-two children with CLP aged 7- to 12-year-old participated in this study. Language skills were assessed using the Malay Preschool Language Assessment Tool and the adapted Subway–School–age Language & Assessment Measures. Findings revealed that 14 (26.92%) school-aged children with CLP demonstrated language deficits. Children with CLP performed significantly poorer in reading comprehension (p = 0.031) and narrative (p = 0.026) skills. It was found that the age significantly influenced total receptive language score (β = 0.421, p = 0.003) and total expressive language score (β = 0.477, p = 0.000). Findings suggested that children with CLP may continue to have persistent language deficits into their school-age years. Recommendations for regular monitoring of language performance especially for those from younger age groups is warranted to help maximize school attainment.
