The question posed in this study was, are there measures which are predictive of the need for further palatal management? Articulation scores, lateral x-rays and clinical judgments of velopharyngeal competency were examined for 75 subjects in retrospect to determine their predictive value. Each of the measures resulted in at least 90% appropriate predictions. The combination of articulation score and lateral x-ray rating appeared to be the best predictor for this particular sample in that subsequent treatment was correctly predicted for 96% of the subjects. We view this study as a preliminary attempt in the prediction of further management and in future studies will consider age at the time of prediction and other possible predictor variables.
本研究提出的问题是，是否存在能够预测进一步腭部处理需求的指标？回顾性地检查了75名受试者的发音评分、侧位X线片以及腭咽功能的临床判断，以确定它们的预测价值。每种指标的预测准确率至少为90%。发音评分和侧位X线片评级相结合似乎是该特定样本的最佳预测指标，因为对96%的受试者正确预测了后续治疗。我们将这项研究视为预测进一步处理的初步尝试，在未来的研究中，我们将考虑预测时的年龄以及其他可能的预测变量。
