ABSTRACT

Objective: to describe and to evaluate some aspects of birthweight in a child population with cleft lip and palate.
Methods: descriptive study with an analytical phase conducted in "Hermanos Cordove" in Manzanillo, Cuba. After a convenience selection, 92 children born with oral clefting were included; they had been seen at the center in the period of 1986 through 2010. The following variables were considered: sex, birthweight and type of cleft. Summary measures allowed setting associations among the variables. The analytical aspects covered the variance analysis and the odds ratio together with the confidence interval of 95 %.
Results: the prevalence of low brithweight in these patients (14.1 %) was high if compared with that of the general population. There was significant association between the type of oral clefting and the birthweight (X²= 12.65). The low birthweight risk in patients with cleft lips associated to cleft palate was significant (RP= 6.24; IC 95 %: 1.3-30).
Conclusions: the results of the study generally are similar to those of other authors. There is apparently association between the level of severity of oral clefting and low birthweight risk.
