The incidence of cleft lip and cleft palate in Thailand is based on reports from three hospitals in Northeastern Thailand. There are 2.49 new babies born with cleft lip and cleft palate and craniofacial deformities for every 1,000 babies the highest incidence in the world. Area 7 Office of the National Health Security Office (NHSO) comprises Khon Kaen, Roi Et, Mahasarakam and Kalasin. The number of newborns with cleft lip and palate is an estimated 114 cases/year. A retrospective geoinformatics study was conducted using the medical records of 4- to 5-year-olds with cleft lip and cleft palate registered with the Tawanchai Center Srinagarind Hospital.
To study the distribution of 4- to 5-year-olds with cleft lip and palate using geoinformatics.
This retrospective study was conducted using data from the medical records, which contains the records of 4- to 5-year-olds with cleft lip and cleft palate admitted to Srinagarind Hospital. The 54-patient sample groups were registered at the Tawanchai Center Faculty of Medicine, Khon Kaen University, under the aegis of the NHSO (Area 7-Khon Kaen). The data were collected using self-administered questionnaires between May and June 2012 and geoinformatics, to study the distribution of patients' vis-a-vis the various parameters.
Among the 27 male and 27femalepatients, 51.85% had cleft lip with cleft palate. Most of the cleft lip patients (7 cases; 41.18%) were in Khon Kaen, while 4 (44.44%) of the cleft palate patients were in Roi-Et and 11 (39.29%) of the cleft lip with palate patients were in Khon Kaen. Most cleft lip patients were in Roi-Et province: 1 case in each of four districts. Similarly, most cases of cleft palate were in Roi-Et province: 1 case in each of four districts. Finally, most cases (5; 50%) of cleft lip with cleft palate were found in Roi-Et province, mostly in the central (Muang) district.
The use of Arc View software as an instrument for geoinformatics, spatial data collection helped to clarify the district level distribution of patients with CLP; this information is needed for policy planning and resource allocation.
泰国唇腭裂发病率是根据泰国东北部三家医院的报告得出的。每1000名新生儿中有2.49例患有唇腭裂及颅面畸形,这是世界上发病率最高的。国家卫生安全办公室(NHSO)7区办公室包括孔敬府、黎逸府、玛哈沙拉堪府和加拉信府。唇腭裂新生儿估计每年有114例。利用诗里拉吉医院塔万猜中心登记的4至5岁唇腭裂患儿的病历进行了一项回顾性地理信息学研究。
利用地理信息学研究4至5岁唇腭裂患儿的分布情况。
这项回顾性研究使用了病历数据,其中包含诗里拉吉医院收治的4至5岁唇腭裂患儿的记录。54名患者的样本组是在NHSO(7区-孔敬)的支持下,在孔敬大学医学院塔万猜中心登记的。2012年5月至6月期间,通过自行填写问卷和地理信息学收集数据,以研究患者相对于各种参数的分布情况。
在27名男性和27名女性患者中,51.85%患有唇腭裂。大多数唇裂患者(7例;41.18%)在孔敬府,而腭裂患者中有4例(44.44%)在黎逸府,唇腭裂患者中有11例(39.29%)在孔敬府。大多数唇裂患者在黎逸府:四个区各有1例。同样,大多数腭裂病例在黎逸府:四个区各有1例。最后,大多数(5例;50%)唇腭裂病例在黎逸府,主要在中部(莫昂)区。
使用Arc View软件作为地理信息学工具,空间数据收集有助于明确唇腭裂患者在地区层面的分布情况;这一信息对于政策规划和资源分配是必要的。
