To evaluate dental arch relationship in treated bilateral cleft lip and palate (BCLP) cases at an Indian cleft center using the Bauru yardstick.
Digital photographs of the dental cast of 50 consecutively treated patients (28 males and 22 females) with nonsyndromic BCLP at an Indian cleft center were rated by 2 examiners as per the Bauru yardstick for the 12-year-old age group. The average age group was 12 ± 0.62 years. All cases were treated with same surgical protocol.
The inter-examiner agreement between the 3 examiners was found to be very high, with weighted kappa values ranging from 0.894 to 0.951. The intraexaminer agreement between the 2 examinations for all the examiners was also found to be very high, with weighted kappa values ranging from 0.894 to 0.931. Seventy-eight percent of patients were rated with a Bauru yardstick score of 1+2. In addition, 10% of patients were rated with a score of 3, 8% as 4, and 4% as 5. The overall Bauru yardstick score for the center was 2.36.
The protocol followed for the repair of BCLP cases by the center was found to be a good regimen in regard to the Bauru yardstick score.
使用鲍鲁标准评估印度一家腭裂治疗中心治疗的双侧唇腭裂（BCLP）病例的牙弓关系。
印度一家腭裂治疗中心连续50例（28例男性和22例女性）非综合征性BCLP患者的石膏模型数码照片，由2名检查者按照针对12岁年龄组的鲍鲁标准进行评分。平均年龄组为12±0.62岁。所有病例均采用相同的手术方案进行治疗。
发现3名检查者之间的检查者间一致性非常高，加权kappa值在0.894至0.951之间。所有检查者两次检查之间的检查者内一致性也非常高，加权kappa值在0.894至0.931之间。78%的患者鲍鲁标准评分为1 + 2。此外，10%的患者评分为3，8%为4，4%为5。该中心的总体鲍鲁标准评分为2.36。
就鲍鲁标准评分而言，该中心修复BCLP病例所采用的方案是一种良好的治疗方案。
