Impact of Cardiac Risk Factors in the Postsurgical Outcomes of Patients With Cleft Palate: Analysis of the 2012-2014 NSQIP Database.
CONCLUSIONS: Cleft palate repair in patients with concurrent congenital cardiac defects is a safe procedure but carries elevated risk in the postoperative period as demonstrated in this analysis of the NSQIP-Pediatric database. Technical risks are equivalent. Additional anesthesia and surgical awareness of these potential complications is essential to minimize perianesthesia risks.
