Objective The study aimed to assess the transverse craniofacial dimensions of patients (age, 7-14 years) with unilateral cleft lip and palate (UCLP), compare these dimensions with those of noncleft individuals, and identify the correlations between the nasal and maxillary transverse widths of patients with UCLP. Design A cross-sectional study. selleck chemicals Participants Eighty patients operated on for complete UCLP (UCLP group; 35 girls, 45 boys; median age 10.7 [7.9-14] years) and 80 age- and sex-matched noncleft individuals (control group; 35 girls, 45 boys; median age 10.7 [7.3-14] years). Interventions Interorbital, bizygomatic, nasal, maxillary skeletal, maxillary molar, mandibular molar, and antegonial width measurements were performed using posteroanterior cephalometric radiographs. Intergroup comparisons were conducted by using the independent samples t-test and Mann-Whitney U test. Correlation between the variables was examined using Pearson correlation analysis. Results The bizygomatic, maxillary skeletal and molar, mandibular molar, and antegonial widths in the UCLP group were significantly less than those in the control group (P less then .05). A positive correlation was found between the maxillary skeletal and nasal widths (r = 0.550, P less then .001) and between the maxillary molar and nasal widths (r = 0.560, P less then .001). Conclusions In individuals with UCLP, the bizygomatic, maxillary skeletal and molar, mandibular molar, and antegonial widths were significantly less than those in noncleft individuals. As the maxillary skeletal and dental widths presented a positive correlation with the nasal width, a decrease in nasal width must be considered when maxillary constriction is noted.Concordance in caregivers' and children's reports of children's trauma-related symptoms is often low, and symptom discrepancies are associated with negative clinical implications. The aim of the current study was to examine the degree of concordance between children's and caregivers' reports of trauma-related difficulties and determine whether any child or family characteristics were associated with symptom agreement. Three hundred thirteen trauma-exposed children (M = 9.55, SD = 1.77; 65.2% girls, 51.3% Black) and their nonoffending caregivers seeking treatment were included in the study. Children's and caregivers' reports of trauma-related difficulties were related, but low intraclass correlation coefficients indicated poor concordance across symptoms. Child's gender was associated with levels of concordance for several trauma-related difficulties (e.g., anxiety, depression, anger, dissociation, and sexual concerns), with lower symptom agreement for girls. Child's age, minority status, and relationship to caregiver emerged as factors related to levels of concordance for certain trauma-related symptoms. Child's gender, age, minority status, and relationship to caregiver may predict symptom discordance for select trauma-related difficulties, whereas other family factors such as caregiver marital status and income may be unrelated. Given the importance of caregiver-child concordance in treatment success, additional research should investigate other factors that may influence trauma-related symptom agreement.Objective To evaluate characteristics of congenital heart disease (CHD) in patients with cleft lip and/or palate (CL/P) and assess potential associations with cleft outcomes. Design Retrospective review of all patients with CL/P who underwent primary cleft treatment from 2009 to 2015. Setting Children's Hospital Los Angeles, a tertiary hospital. Patients Exclusion criteria included microform cleft lip diagnosis, international patients, and patients presenting for secondary repair or revision after primary repair at another institution. Main outcomes measured Patient demographics, prenatal and birth characteristics, CL/P characteristics, syndromic status, postoperative complications, and other outcomes were analyzed rel
