Burden of Care Analysis of Presurgical Infant Orthopedics for Improvement of Nasolabial Aesthetics in CUCLP

Singer, Emily 27 November 2012 (has links)
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the burden of care (BOC) of two presurgical infant orthopedic (PSIO) protocols used for complete unilateral cleft lip and palate (CUCLP), and to compare aesthetic outcomes with centres not utilizing PSIO. Four samples were collected. Two from the same centre that underwent either traditional infant orthopedics (TIO) or nasoalveolar molding (NAM) and two from centres not employing PSIO. BOC data were collected for the PSIO groups and photos at age 5 were collected for ratings of nasolabial aesthetics. The BOC of NAM was found to be significantly greater than IO for number of visits (9.9 vs. 6.6, (p<0.001)) and days wearing the appliance (127 vs. 112, (p<0.05)). Significant differences in aesthetic ratings were noted amongst the three centres but not between the NAM and TIO groups. Overall, an increased burden of NAM over TIO was detected, without an observable aesthetic improvement.
