Negotiating acceptable termination of pregnancy for non-lethal fetal anomaly: a qualitative study of professional perspectives

TL;DR: If a termination could be defended morally, including negotiation of several key issues (including ‘fixing’, perceptions of pain and normality), then participants conceptualised TOPFA as an acceptable pregnancy outcome.

Effect of Hospital Volume on Outcomes of Surgery for Cleft Lip and Palate.

TL;DR: In the present study of surgical outcomes for cleft lip and palate, hospital volume was inversely associated with duration of anesthesia and length of antibiotic use, but was not statistically associated with length of hospital stay or total cost.

Mortality Among Infants Born With Orofacial Clefts in a Single Cleft Network

TL;DR: Children born with cleft palate have a 15-fold increase in mortality compared with the regional East of England infant mortality rate and at least a 10- fold increase when compared with other clefts.

Psychological growth and well-being in individuals born with cleft: An application of self-determination theory

TL;DR: It is proposed that SDT can serve to better understand how individuals born with CLP can achieve psychological growth and well-being with the application of self-determination theory (SDT).

Surgical, Speech, and Audiologic Outcomes in Patients With Orofacial Cleft and Van der Woude Syndrome.

TL;DR: The VWS group had more than twice the rate of secondary procedures for VPD repair, and a higher rate of continuing involvement for speech therapy at age 10, than patients with nonsyndromic cleft palate treated at the same institution.
