Abstract:
Objective:To analyze the risk factors and characteristics of nonsyndromic clef lip and palate living at high altitude, providing evidence for preventing cleft lip and palate.Methods:The clinical data of 109 Tibetan patients with nonsyndromic cleft lip and palate who received treatment in People's Hospital of Ganzi Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture between August 2016 and August 2020 were retrospectively analyzed.Results:The 109 patients with cleft lip and palate were aged 4 months to 48 years. The ratio of male to female patients was 1.42∶1. The ratio of male to female patients with simple cleft lip was 1.40∶1. The ratio of male to female patients with cleft lip and palate was 1.71∶1. The ratio of male to female patients with simple cleft palate was 1.3∶1. The mothers of all patients did not undergo prenatal examination and did not take folic acid during pregnancy. Eight patients (7.3%) had a family genetic history of cleft lip and palate. Two patients (1.8%) had consanguineous marriage within three generations. Seven patients (6.4%) took drugs in the first three months of pregnancy. One patient (0.9%) had malnutrition during pregnancy. Among 65 patients (59.1%) had simple cleft lip, 48 patients (73.8%) had incomplete cleft lip. Among 25 patients (22.9%) had simple cleft palate, 14 patients (56.0%) had incomplete cleft palate. Nineteen patients (17.2%) had cleft lip and palate. The number of patients with unilateral cleft lip with or without cleft palate was greater than that of patients with bilateral cleft lip with or without cleft palate. The number of patients with left cleft lip with or without cleft palate was greater than that of patients with right cleft lip with or without cleft palate. The ratio of the number of patients with unilateral cleft lip to the number of patients with bilateral cleft lip was 12∶1. The ratio of the number of patients with left cleft lip to the number of patients with right cleft lip was 1.9∶1. The ratio of the number of patients with unilateral cleft lip and palate to the number of patients with bilateral cleft lip and palate was 5.3∶1. The ratio of the number of patients with left cleft lip and palate to the number of patients with right cleft lip and palate was 2.8∶1. Twelve patients (63.2%) had complete cleft palate.Conclusion:Popularizing knowledge of pregnancy health care and strengthening pre-pregnancy and during-pregnancy examination can reduce the incidence of cleft lip and palate.
