“…In addition, one of the children had the highest level of salivary cortisol (0.199 µg/dL), which may have interfered with the median cortisol in this group as a whole. In a study 33 that associated the stress response through cortisol and a health-related quality of life questionnaire (KIDSCREEN-52), performed with the participation children with CLP aged 5 to 10 years and a control group paired by age, the authors found that there was no difference in cortisol concentrations between children with different types of cleft. The study concluded that children with CLP did not show a higher level of stress compared with the control group.…”

“…The absence of a correlation between the level of cortisol and the quality of life of children with CLP has also been demonstrated in a previous research. 33 The present study makes some considerations that must be observed in future trials, such as the fact that obtaining a more homogeneous sample with a larger number of individuals may provide more accurate information about the correlation between the level of cortisol and sustained auditory attention. The application of questionnaires to assess anxiety and obtain data on quality of life may contribute with additional information on stress and increased levels of cortisol.…”

Introduction Cortisol is a hormone involved in the response to stress. Attention is a function that can change due to exposure to stress. Objectives To verify the correlation between the level of salivary cortisol and sustained auditory attention in children with cleft lip and palate, as well as to compare the results of the variables analyzed between female and male patients. Methods In total, 103 children aged 6 to 11 years, were divided into 2 groups: those with cleft lip and palate (experimental group, EG; n = 69) and the control group (CG; n = 34). The Sustained Auditory Attention Ability Test (SAAAT) and salivary cortisol levels, measured by an enzyme immunoassay kit (Salimetrics, Stage College, PA, US), were calculated and compared regarding the two groups. The statistical tests used were the Mann-Whitney test and the Spearman correlation. Results The median level of salivary cortisol was of 0.03615 µl/dL and 0.18000 µl/dL respectively for the EG and CG, with a significant difference between the groups (p = 0.000). Absence of statistical significance (total error score = 0.656; vigilance decrement = 0.051) was observed the for SAAAT among the EG (median total error score = 12.00; 25th percentile [25%] = 7.00; 75th percentile [75%] = 21.00; and vigilance decrement = 1.00; 25% = 0.00; 75% = 2.50) and the CG (median total error score = 12.00; 25% = 6.00; 75% = 24.00; and vigilance decrement = 0.00; 25% = -1.00; 75% = 2.00). Conclusion All children had median levels of salivary cortisol and scores for sustained auditory attention within normal parameters. A significant correlation between the level of salivary cortisol and the ability to sustain auditory attention was observed in children without cleft lip and palate. There were no differences regarding the SAAAT and salivary cortisol between female and male patients.
