| Popis: | Older age cleft palate (CP) repair in international settings has been associated with increased surgical morbidity. This study assesses the prevalence and risks associated with late-age CP repair (age 5 years) in the United States.Primary CP repair patients less than the age of 18 years were identified in the National Surgical Quality Improvement pediatric database from 2012 to 2018. Total postoperative complications, readmissions, reoperations, duration of surgery, and length of stay were recorded. T-tests and χA total of 10,022 primary CP procedures were identified from 2012 to 2018, of which 868 (8.6%) received repair at age 5 years. Hispanic patients constituted a larger proportion of CP repair from ages 11 to 17 years than repair at other ages (P .001). In comparison with children treated from ages 0 to 5 years, children operated on between ages 6 and 10 or 11 and 17 years experienced no increases in unplanned readmissions, reoperations, or complication rates after surgery. Patients of ages 6-10 years and 11-17 years had decreased operating room time (P .001) compared with younger patients. Patients of ages 11-17 years also had decreased hospital length of stay (P = .04).Many children in the United States received primary CP repair after the age of 5 years likely due to late treatment of submucosal clefts or delayed care among international immigrants/adoptees. Old age procedures were not associated with increased short-term surgical morbidity in comparison with surgery at earlier time points. The causes and implications of older age primary surgery warrant further study. |
