Interrater Reliability for Classifying Craniofacial Microsomia Severity: A Call for Objective Evaluation

CONCLUSIONS: The reliability of the ear and radiographic mandible scales of the PAT-CFM global classification were high, while the orbit, facial nerve and soft tissue subscales may have limited reliability. Research focusing on radiographic severity scores for hypoplasia of the orbits and soft tissues, as well as objective measures for overall facial hypoplasia using non-ionizing forms of imaging for early classification, are warranted.PMID:37993999 | DOI:10.1177/10556656231216557
