Impact of Syndromes on Sleep-Disordered Breathing in Children After Cleft Palate Repair.
Cleft Palate-craniofacial Journal 2022 May 32
OBJECTIVE: Prior research suggests that children with cleft palate (CP) are at increased risk of obstructive sleep-disordered breathing (SDB). However, few studies differentiate the effects of CP repair on SDB based on syndrome status. The goal of this study was to evaluate differences in SDB after palatoplasty among children with nonsyndromic CP, syndromic CP, and isolated Robin sequence (RS).
DESIGN: Retrospective chart review.
SETTING: Tertiary academic children's hospital.
PATIENTS/PARTICIPANTS: A total of 145 children who underwent primary CP repair from 2014 to 2021.
MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE: Post-palatoplasty SDB is defined as parent-reported symptoms and/or evidence of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).
RESULTS: Median age at palatoplasty was 11.1 [IQR 10.2-13.6] months. Most patients (61.4%) had nonsyndromic CP, 26.9% had a syndrome, and 11.7% had RS. Children with syndromic CP and RS had more post-palatoplasty SDB symptoms (56.4% vs 58.8% vs 30.3%, P = .006) and higher rates of OSA (25.6% vs 29.4% vs 5.6%, P = .001) compared to children with nonsyndromic CP after palatoplasty. Children with syndromic CP and RS had nearly 3 to 4 higher odds of post-palatoplasty SDB than children with nonsyndromic CP (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] 2.88, 95% CI 1.29-6.47, P = .010; aOR 3.73, 95% CI 1.19-11.70, P = .024).
CONCLUSION: This study showed that children with CP experience higher rates of SDB after palatoplasty than the general pediatric population. Within the cohort, children with syndromic CP and isolated RS were more likely to have obstructive sleep disorders than nonsyndromic children after palatoplasty. Clinicians should counsel caregivers accordingly and closely monitor these groups for SDB after palate repair.
