Cleft palate is a congenital malformation that causes hypernasality and decreases the intelligibility of pronunciation and leads to velopharyngeal insufficiency. It causes difficulty in language development. Many studies and treatments have been conducted to reduce this problem, but there are limitations. In this study, the effect obtained through continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) treatment was analyzed by statistical methods.From May 2012 to December 2018, using patient demographics, computed tomography (CT) scan, and nasalance test was performed on 25 patient groups treated with CPAP devices for 8 weeks to confirm the effect after 6 months.After CPAP treatment in a total of 25 patients, 13 patients had a therapeutic effect. The average age of the patient group with treatment effect (effective group [EG]) was 51.2months, and the patient group with no treatment effect (ineffective group [iG]) was 73.6 months. ( P0.05). In CT data analysis, the highest palatal arch point was 6.31 mm in EG and 7.36 mm in IG, which was lower in EG ( P0.01), and the distance from incisive foramen to posterior pharyngeal wall was 41.39 mm in EG and 49.07 mm in IG ( P0.05).Through the statistical analysis, the group of patients who were effective in treatment had a low age at the beginning of treatment, the height of highest palatal arch point was low on CT data, and the length of distance from incisive foramen to posterior pharyngeal wall was short. It will be helpful to set the CPAP treatment patient group with respect to the results and age and CT data when treating VPI patients. |
