Cleft Palate Craniofac J. 1998 Mar;35(2):127-31. doi: 10.1597/1545-1569_1998_035_0127_ldsaag_2.3.co_2.
This study examined the prevalence of learning disability (LD), level of school achievement; and prevalence of grade retention by type of cleft and gender at two craniofacial centers.
The setting included two university-based craniofacial centers.
DESIGN/PATIENTS: Participants included 84 consecutively evaluated patients from one center who were matched by cleft type, age, and gender with 84 patients evaluated at the second center.
The outcomes included learning disability, school achievement, and grade retention.
The results revealed that 46% of subjects with cleft had LD, 47% had deficient educational progress, and 27% had repeated a grade (excluding kindergarten) in school. Males with cleft palate only (CPO) had a significantly higher rate of LD than any other subject group. Males with CPO and females with cleft lip and palate (CLP) were more likely to repeat a grade in school than were females with CPO and males with CLP.
Children with cleft are at risk for learning disability, low school achievement, and grade retention.
本研究调查了两个颅面中心不同类型腭裂及不同性别的学习障碍(LD)患病率、学业成绩水平和留级率。
研究背景包括两个大学附属颅面中心。
设计/患者:研究对象包括来自一个中心的84例连续接受评估的患者,这些患者在腭裂类型、年龄和性别方面与第二个中心评估的84例患者相匹配。
结果包括学习障碍、学业成绩和留级情况。
结果显示,46%的腭裂患者有学习障碍,47%的患者学业进展不足,27%的患者在学校留过级(不包括幼儿园)。仅患有腭裂(CPO)的男性学习障碍发生率显著高于其他任何患者组。仅患有腭裂的男性和唇腭裂(CLP)女性比仅患有腭裂的女性和唇腭裂男性更有可能在学校留级。
腭裂患儿有学习障碍、学业成绩低和留级的风险。
