Physical Growth Status and Feeding Methods of Chinese Infants With Cleft Lip With or Without Cleft Palate Under 1 Year of Age

Abstract: Objectives: Malnutrition is a characteristic feature of cleft lip with or without palate (CL/P). This study aims to retrospectively quantify the physical growth status, evaluate the feeding methods, and identify the possible correlation of CL/P types with growth failure.Methods: The length and weight of 508 infants with CL/P and 118 healthy infants were recorded at the date of admission. The weight-for-age (W/A), length-for-age (L/A), and body mass index-for-age (BMI) of the infants were calculated.Results: Th… Show more

“…Undernutrition during early childhood affects physical growth and maturation (Wu et al, 2020). Clefts pose significant challenges for feeding and thus may cause malnutrition in infants with CL/P (Beaumont, 2008; Marques et al, 2009; Kucukguven et al, 2020).…”
