Does Early Referral Lead to Early Repair? Quality Improvement in Cleft Care
Cleft lip and palate is the most common congenital defect of the head and neck, occurring in 1 of 700 live births. Diagnosis often occurs in utero by conventional or 3-dimensional ultrasound. Early cleft lip repair (ECLR) (

Diagnosis often occurs in utero by conventional or 3-dimensional ultrasound. Early cleft lip repair (ECLR) (<3 months of life) for unilateral cleft lip (UCL), regardless of cleft width, has been the mainstay of lip reconstruction at Children's Hospital Los Angeles since 2015. Historically, traditional lip repair (TLR) was performed at 3 to 6 months of life ± preoperative nasoalveolar molding (NAM). Previous publications highlight the benefits of ECLR, such as enhanced aesthetic outcomes, decreased revision rate, better weight gain, increased alveolar cleft approximation, cost savings of NAM, and improved parent satisfaction. Occasionally, parents are referred for prenatal consultations to discuss ECLR. This study evaluates timing of cleft diagnosis, preoperative surgical consultation, and referral patterns to validate whether prenatal diagnosis and prenatal consultation lead to ECLR.
Retrospective review evaluated patients who underwent ECLR versus TLR ± NAM from 2009 to 2020. Timing of repair, cleft diagnosis, and surgical consultation, as well as referral patterns, were abstracted. Inclusion criteria dictated: age < 3 months for ECLR or 3 to 6 months for TLR, no major comorbidities, and diagnosis of UCL without palatal involvement. Patients with bilateral cleft lip or craniofacial syndromes were excluded.
Of 107 patients, 51 (47.7%) underwent ECLR whereas 56 underwent TLR (52.3%). Average age at surgery was 31.8 days of life for the ECLR cohort and 112 days of life for the TLR cohort. Furthermore, 70.1% of patients were diagnosed prenatally, yet only 5.6% of families had prenatal consults for lip repair, 100% of which underwent ECLR. Most patients were referred by pediatricians (72.9%). Significance was identified between incidence of prenatal consults and ECLR (P = 0.008). In addition, prenatal diagnosis was significantly correlated with incidence of ECLR (P = 0.027).
Our data demonstrate significance between prenatal diagnosis of UCL and prenatal surgical consultation with incidence of ECLR. Accordingly, we advocate for education to referring providers about ECLR and the potential for prenatal surgical consultation in the hopes that families may enjoy the myriad benefits of ECLR.</description><identifier>ISSN: 0148-7043</identifier><identifier>EISSN: 1536-3708</identifier><identifier>DOI: 10.1097/SAP.0000000000003399</identifier><identifier>PMID: 37227409</identifier><language>eng</language><publisher>United States: Lippincott Williams & Wilkins</publisher><subject>Alveolar Process - abnormalities ; Child ; Cleft Lip - surgery ; Cleft Palate - surgery ; Humans ; Infant ; Nose - surgery ; Quality Improvement ; Referral and Consultation ; Retrospective Studies</subject><ispartof>Annals of plastic surgery, 2023-05, Vol.90 (5S Suppl 3), p.S312-S314</ispartof><rights>Lippincott Williams & Wilkins</rights><rights>Copyright © 2023 Wolters Kluwer Health, Inc.
