Respiratory outcomes after cleft palate closure in Robin sequence: a retrospective study
Clinical Oral Investigations(2024)
Abstract
There is a paucity of information about the possible risk factors that could identify patients with Robin sequence (RS) who are more prone to developing obstructive airway complications after palate closure. This study aimed to compare the respiratory complication rates in patients with RS and isolated cleft palate (ICP). In this retrospective study, we reviewed the medical records of 243 consecutive patients with RS and ICP who were treated at Amsterdam University Medical Centers over the past 25 years. We collected preoperative data on previous treatment, diagnostic findings, surgical technique, weight, and presence of congenital anomalies. During cleft palate closure, patients with RS were older (11.9 versus 10.1 months; p = 0.001) and had a lower gestational age than those with ICP (37.7 versus 38.5 weeks; p = 0.002). Patients with RS had more respiratory complications (17 versus 5
