Retrospective Cohort Studies in Craniofacial Outcomes Research: An Epidemiologist's Approach to Mitigating Bias
Cleft Palate Craniofac J. 2024 Feb 22:10556656241233234. doi: 10.1177/10556656241233234. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTRetrospective cohort studies, defined as a follow-up study in which outcome occurred prior to study onset, are common in craniofacial outcomes research and will continue to be prevalent given the increasing availability of secondary datasets and inherent prospective study limitations. However, if available data are not adequately measured, or necessary variables are absent, retrospective cohort studies can be particularly prone to bias. This brief communication aims to highlight the primary sources of bias...

Presurgical Infant Orthopedic Videos on YouTube ™: A Thematic Analysis of Caregiver Narratives
CONCLUSION: Multifaceted challenges and coping strategies were described by caregivers during the PSIO phase. Caregivers remained committed to treatment despite the burden of care, were motivated by an understanding of the benefits of PSIO, and customized care based on their individual strengths and needs. Study results can help providers gain an understanding of what caregivers experience outside the clinical environment.PMID:38389436 | DOI:10.1177/10556656241233115 (Source: The Cleft Palate-Craniofacial Journal)

Occlusal Outcomes in Non-Robin Sequence Patients with Isolated Cleft Palate
CONCLUSIONS: The skeletal occlusal class outcomes were similar to those found in a previous study in the literature. The occlusal prognosis appears to be better than in patients with Robin Sequence or with an associated cleft lip. No preoperative measurement was found to be associated with the occlusal outcome.PMID:38389267 | DOI:10.1177/10556656241236078 (Source: The Cleft Palate-Craniofacial Journal)

Parental Stress, Infant Feeding and Well-being in Families Affected by Cleft Lip and/or Cleft Palate: The Impact of Early Follow-up
CONCLUSION: Contextual strategies for early follow-up of families affected by clefts need to be developed, with an emphasis on involving fathers and those parents reporting elevated stress and/or feeding difficulties. There is a need for diagnosis-specific guidelines about the use of pacifiers as well as collaboration between the health professionals involved to increase breastmilk feeding.PMID:38384126 | DOI:10.1177/10556656241231524 (Source: The Cleft Palate-Craniofacial Journal)

Prospective Evaluation of Health-Related Quality-of-Life in Children with Craniosynostosis
CONCLUSIONS: This study demonstrates similar HRQL among children with and without a syndrome, higher HRQL among children undergoing posterior cranial distraction than those undergoing open vault remodeling, and trends towards higher HRQL in children with sagittal craniosynostosis who underwent minimally-invasive surgery compared to those who underwent open vault remodeling.PMID:38380879 | DOI:10.1177/10556656241234562 (Source: The Cleft Palate-Craniofacial Journal)
