Narrative Literature Review

As anomalias craniofaciais representam um grupo amplo de malformações congênitas que afetam uma grande proporção da sociedade mundial. Entre essas se encontram as fissuras de lábio e/ou de palato, anomalia orofacial mais frequente entre os seres humanos que ocasionam problemas estéticos e funcionais nos indivíduos afetados.  A etiologia das fissuras labiopalatinas isoladas ou não-sindrômicas é complexa e multifatorial, associadas à fatores hereditários e ambientais. Este estudo teve como objetivo relatar os fatores genéticos e ambientais associados à etiologia desse tipo de malformação, através de uma revisão narrativa de literatura, a partir das bases de dados: PubMed e Scielo. Os descritores utilizados foram: cleft palate AND cleft lip AND etiology AND risk factors. Incluíram-se artigos nos idiomas inglês e português publicados em periódicos nacionais e internacionais acerca da temática da pesquisa. Baseado na revisão de literatura se pode identificar que os fatores ambientais como: fumo, consumo de álcool, consumo de medicamentos, o não uso de suplementação com polivitamínicos e ácido fólico, exposição a agrotóxicos, idade dos genitores podem aumentar a chance de ocorrência das fissuras labiopalatinas. O acompanhamento gestacional durante o primeiro trimestre gestacional se faz necessário, a fim de monitorar os fatores de risco associados com as fissuras labiopalatinas não sindrômicas.   Palavras-chave: Fissura Palatina. Fenda Labial. Etiologia. Fatores de Risco.   Abstract Craniofacial anomalies represent a broad group of congenital malformations that affect a large proportion of world society. Among them are cleft lip and / or palate, the most frequent orofacial anomaly among human beings that cause aesthetic and functional problems in the affected individuals. The etiology of isolated or non-syndromic cleft lip and palate is complex and multifactorial, associated with hereditary and environmental factors. This study aimed to report the genetic and environmental factors associated with the etiology of this type of malformation through a narrative literature review conducted in October 2020, using the PubMed and Scielo databases. The keywords used were cleft palate AND cleft lip AND etiology AND risk factors. Articles in English and Portuguese published in national and international journals about the research theme were included. Based on the literature review, it can be identified that environmental factors such as smoking, alcohol consumption, medication consumption, the non-use of supplementation with multivitamins and folic acid, exposure to pesticides, age of parents can increase the chance of cleft lip and palate occurrence. Gestational monitoring during the first trimester of pregnancy is necessary in order to monitor the risk factors associated with non-syndromic cleft lip and palate.   Keywords: Cleft Palate. Cleft Lip. Etiology. Risk Factors.

Objective: To identify factors associated with late cleft repair at a US tertiary children’s hospital. Design: Retrospective study of children with CL/P using Children’s Hospital Los Angeles (CHLA) records. Setting: US tertiary children’s hospital. Patients/Participants: Patients undergoing primary CL or CP repair at CHLA from 2009 to 2018. Main Outcome Measures: Proportion of children who had delayed primary CL repair or CP repair using CHLA and American Cleft Palate-Craniofacial Association (ACPA) guidelines and factors associated with late surgery. Results: In total, 805 patients—503 (62.5%) who had CL repair, 302 (37.5%) CP repair—were included. Using CHLA protocol, 14.3% of patients seeking CL repair had delayed surgery. Delay was significantly associated with female gender, non-Hispanic ethnicity, Spanish primary language, government insurance, bilateral cleft, cleft lip and palate (CLP), and syndromic diagnosis. Using ACPA guidelines, 5.4% had delayed surgery. Female gender and syndromic diagnosis were significantly associated with delay and remained significant after adjustment for confounders in multivariate models. For CP repair, 60.3% of patients had delayed surgery using CHLA protocol. Cleft lip and palate diagnosis, complete cleft, syndromic diagnosis, and longer travel distance were significantly associated with delay. Using ACPA guidelines, 28.5% had delayed surgery; however, significant association with patient variables was not consistently observed. Conclusions: Delay in cleft surgery occurs most often for patients seeking CP repair and is associated with female gender, non-Hispanic ethnicity, Spanish language, government insurance, and bilateral CL, CLP, or syndromic diagnoses. Initiatives should aim to optimize cleft surgery delivery for these subpopulations.

Aim: : To describe the clinical, demographic and environmental features associated with NSCL/P (nonsyndromic cleft lip and/or palate) patients born in western Parana state, Brazil. Methods: This cross-sectional, observational, retrospective study included 188 patients attended at the Association of Carriers of Cleft Lip and Palate - APOFILAB, Cascavel-Parana, between 2012 and 2014. Information on demographic characteristics, medical and dental histories and life style factors were obtained from records and personal interviews. Results: Among the 188 patients, cleft lip and palate (CLP) was the most frequent subtype (55.8%), followed by cleft lip only (CLO, 25.0%) and cleft palate only (CPO, 19.2%). Caucasian males were the most affected, although no differences among types of cleft were observed. The otorhinolaryngologic and respiratory alterations were the most frequent systemic alterations in NSCL/P patients, and more than 80% of the NSCL/P mothers reported no vitamin supplements during the first trimester of pregnancy. Conclusions: This study revealed that the prevalence of nonsyndromic oral cleft types in this cohort was quite similar to previously reported prevalence rates. Systemic alterations were identified among 23.4% of the patients and patients with CLP were the most affected. History of maternal exposition to environmental factors related to nonsyndromic oral clefts was frequent and most mothers reported no vitamin supplements during the pregnancy. This study highlights the importance of identifying systemic alterations and risk factors associated with NSCL/P in the Brazilian population for planning comprehensive strategies and integrated actions for the development of preventive programs and treatment.

Objective: To examine the timeliness of primary cleft surgery, mean age at which surgery occurred, and factors associated with timely cleft surgery among children with orofacial clefts (OFCs). Design: Retrospective study of children with OFC using North Carolina vital statistics, birth defects registry, and Medicaid files. Participants/Patients: Medicaid-enrolled North Carolina resident children with OFC born from 1995 to 2002. Main Outcome Measures: Proportion of children who underwent primary cleft surgery within 18 months of life, mean age when surgery occurred, and factors associated with timely surgery. Results: 406 children with OFC were continuously enrolled in Medicaid during the first 2 years of life. Overall, 78.1% of children had surgery within 18 months. About 90% of children with cleft lip (CL), 58.0% of children with cleft palate (CP), and 89.6% of children with cleft lip and palate (CLP) received timely cleft surgery; the mean age at which surgery occurred was 5 months. Children whose mothers received maternity care coordination, received prenatal care at a local health department, or lived in the southeastern or northeastern region of the state were more likely to receive timely cleft surgery. Conclusion: Most children with OFC in North Carolina born during this time period received primary cleft surgery within 18 months of life, but this varied by maternal demographics and other factors.

Objectives: Research has identified adults born with cleft lip and/or palate (CL/P) to be at risk of poorer psychological outcomes compared to the general population. This study investigated factors that may contribute to positive and negative adjustment in adults born with CL/P. Design: A survey was designed and distributed by the Cleft Lip and Palate Association in collaboration with (University). There were 207 eligible responses (95% completed online) received between July and October 2018. Dependent variables included the Body Esteem Scale for Adolescents and Adults, Harter’s Self Perception Profile for Adults (Global Self-Worth, Social Competence, and Intimacy subscales), the Fear of Negative Appearance Evaluation Scale, and the Revised Adult Attachment Scale. Independent variables were the Revised Life Orientation Test, biodemographic data, and self-reported single-item questions. Results: Factors associated with positive adjustment included reports of a happy childhood, talking about CL/P with family, close friendships, comfort in public spaces, satisfaction with appearance, and a positive life orientation. Psychological distress was associated with a desire for further surgery to improve appearance and/or function. Conclusions: Several factors were identified that may influence psychological adjustment in adults with CL/P. Throughout childhood, family-centered practice to support family cohesion and an open dialogue about CL/P is indicated, as is support for young people to develop social confidence. For adults returning to the cleft service, treatment options for appearance and/or functional concerns should be explored, with access to psychological support when indicated. Interventions to increase optimism, resilience, and self-acceptance may also be warranted throughout the life span.

Objective: Identify factors associated with adherence to nasoalveolar molding (NAM) therapy. Design: Retrospective case-control study. Setting: Tertiary referral center. Patients, Participants: Infants with cleft lip, with or without cleft palate, referred for NAM. One hundred thirty-five patients met criteria. Main Outcome Measure(s): Adherence to NAM therapy, defined as continuous use of the appliance and attendance of NAM adjustment visits. Results: Female sex (OR = 2.85, 95% CI 1.21-6.74), bilateral cleft (OR = 2.88, 95% CI 1.29-6.46), and travel distance (OR = 1.01, 95% CI 1.00-1.01) were independent predictors of nonadherence. Bilateral clefts (OR = 8.35, 95% CI 2.72-25.64) and public-payer insurance (OR = 3.67, 95% CI 1.13-11.91) for male patients were significantly associated with nonadherence, in our sex-stratified multivariate model. The majority of the families (58%) had public health insurance. Males comprised 77.0% of the cohort. Conclusions: NAM treatment adherence is impaired by bilateral clefts, female sex, increased travel distance, and public insurance. Further studies are warranted to investigate how these factors affect adherence, and to develop interventions to improve adherence in families at risk due to economic or psychosocial barriers.
