Time Trends and Determinants of Fistula in Cleft Patients at BC Children's Hospital, Canada

Abstract: Almost one quarter of the patients, developed fistula, and fistula incidence declined after 2009. The higher fistula rates were determined by cleft severity, time period of treatment, type of surgery, and surgeon's experience.

“…These rates of fistula repair are comparable to the higher end of fistula rates and cleft type reported in the published literature. [15][16][17][18] The ASA status of these children at the time of their first cleft operation also reflected their medical complexity, with nearly two thirds of the children being placed in ASA Group III indicating the presence of severe systemic disease. Children with CP + /-L and CS thus present as a complex and clinically varied group where timing of cleft surgery is highly likely to need to be adapted to meet the needs of each individual child.…”

“…Volume 147, Number 6 • Local Anesthesia and Palatoplasty 979e identified predictors of complications, length of stay, and resource use in pediatric palatoplasty, including hospital case volume, surgeon case volume, and surgeon's training and experience, limited literature addressed the impact of local anesthesia practice on clinical outcomes and expenditures. [7][8][9][10] We perceived this shortage of evidence as an important knowledge gap in the domain of surgical cleft care-especially given the high use of local anesthesia in cleft palate surgery-and thus dedicated this study to bridging this gap.…”
