“…( Regarding epidemiological characteristics, the highest percentage of patients presented between 2 and 5 years of age. This resembles the data published by Jac-Okereke et al (2), where the age distribution of patients with orofacial cleft was 34.7% of pediatric patients aged 2 years, demonstrating the importance of early care.…”

Cleft lips and palate are considered congenital craniofacial malformations originating in the early stage of embryo development, due to an incomplete fusion of the medial nasal processes and maxillary processes. A multidisciplinary team is required to carry out the ideal treatment for these childhood patients. Aims: The objective of this study was meant to describe the casuistry of patients with cleft lip and palate in infants who attended the Operation Smile Venezuela Foundation in the period from 2015 to 2019. Subjects and Method: This was a non-experimental and descriptive field research. The sample included medical records from patients with cleft lip and palate that were attended since 2015 to 2019, having in account exclusion and inclusion criteria. A questionnaire was used as an instrument through the Google Form application with 34 closed questions of dichotomous answers. The variables studied were epidemiological characteristics such as: age, gender and origin, also we analyzed types of clefts lip and palate and whether they obtained surgical resolution or not, which were collected and evaluated according to our type of research and the objectives. Results: 618 medical records were analyzed, with an average of showing a prevalence in preschool age ( 40%) , followed by minor infants ( 29%) and the age with less prevalence was newborns (1%). In terms of gender there was an almost equal distribution, males (58%) and females (42%). Geographically there was a predominance in the Capital District (20%), Miranda (15%), Aragua (13%) and Monagas (12%) during the period studied. But states such as Amazonas, Barinas, Cojedes, Delta Amacuro, Lara and Nueva Esparta had the lowest percentage (0%). Of the cleft lip the most prevalent was the Complete left Unilateral, followed by the Incomplete Left Unilateral and the Complete Bilateral cleft lip. The Complete Bilateral and the Hard and Soft Posterior Palate Cleft were the most common. Conclusions: It is essential to determine the epidemiological variants, as well as to know the etiology of the cleft lip alveolus palatal and how to prevent them. Likewise, through this work, the activity that Operation Smile Venezuela Foundation carried out day by day is made known.

“…Con relación al género, se pudo observar que durante los cinco años existe una leve prevalencia en la población masculina, lo que concuerda con los trabajos publicados por Barrios y colaboradores 3 y Jac-Okereke y su equipo. 2 De igual manera, en el trabajo realizado por José Mena Olade y colegas 4 se demostró que de un total de 800 expedientes clínicos, 460 (57.5%) fueron pacientes masculinos y 340 (42.5%) femeninos. Sin embargo, Hernández y colaboradores, 5 Solano y su equipo 6 y Aizpurua y colegas 7 describen en sus estudios un predominio del género femenino.…”

“…This statement was supported by Jac Okereke who reported that the firstborn children accounted for most patients, but didn't have any significance relation to cleft lip and palate. 11 However, Kesande et al 12 reported that, regarding birth order, most children with orofacial clefts were in the fourth and fifth rank (45.0%) compared to one to third rank (25.0%) and those in the sixth to seventh rank (30.0%).…”

Background: Cleft lip and palate is one of the most common congenital abnormalities in infants and is caused by more than one factors, which can be genetic and environmental. Defects in a family gene can result in cleft lip and palate. The study found a high family history relationship with the incidence of cleft lip and palate. Birth order studied by several researchers also has different results, which were influenced by folic acid consumption, maternal knowledge, lack of antenatal care visits and maternal age. To determine the cases of cleft lip and palate based on the birth order of the children and family history of the patients at Mitra Sejati General Hospital. Purpose: The study aimed to investigate cleft lip and cleft palate patients by birth order and family history. Methods: This research was a retrospective descriptive study using survey method. Researchers gave 13 questions through a questionnaire and data were collected and counted manually. Results: The results showed that based on the birth, the cleft case in the first birth order amounted to 25 people, the second 30 people, the third 19 people, and the fourth or more as many as 20 people. Based on family history, 27 patients had a family history of cleft lip and palate, while 67 patients did not have family history. Conclusion: The cases of clefts at Mitra Sejati General Hospital happened more frequently in the second child and most incidence did not have family history.
