TI  - Postoperative speech development based on cleft types in children with cleft 
      palate.
PG  - 666-72
AB  - BACKGROUND: The purpose of this historical cohort study was to compare the speech 
      development of children with three types of cleft palate while controlling for 
      some confounding factors. METHODS: Subjects included 28 children with bilateral 
      cleft lip and palate (BCLP), 74 with unilateral cleft lip and palate (UCLP), 33 
      with isolated cleft palate (ICP), and 168 normal control children. Children with 
      cleft palate attended a speech clinic in Fukuoka, had attained adequate 
      velopharyngeal function after palatoplasty carried out within 18 months after 
      birth, and had no syndromic diseases, persistent hearing loss, mental 
      retardation, or central nervous system problems. RESULTS: Children with BCLP 
      began using two-word sentences later than other children (3 months, P<0.01). 
      However, the difference based on sex was also statistically significant. Female 
      patients started using two-word sentences earlier than male patients (2 months, 
      P<0.01). Children with BCLP had lower verbal scores on the Wechsler Preschool and 
      Primary Scale of Intelligence (WPPSI) than other children (12.4-14.9 points, 
      P<0.01). There was no significant difference based on sex. CONCLUSIONS: The 
      results of this research indicate the following: speech development of children 
      with ICP and UCLP was similar to that of normal children; however, speech 
      development of children with BCLP was delayed compared with other children with 
      or without cleft palate.
