Abstract

Objective: To analyze demographic characteristics, including weight, age, gender, the relationship between the number of surgeries and age, as well as regional features in children with cleft palate deformities. Methods: A prospective descriptive study involving 25 patients with cleft palate deformities selected by a convenient sampling method at E Central Hospital, Hanoi. Results: The study revealed an average patient age of 10.56 years, an average weight of 24.84 kg, and a gender balance (52% male, 48% female). Notably, 85% of the patients were from ethnic minority groups, primarily living in remote and rural areas. Cleft palate was the most prevalent deformity (56%), with 36% requiring a second surgery, and velopharyngeal insufficiency (8%) significantly impacting communication. Conclusion: The findings underscore the importance of early screening, improved healthcare access in disadvantaged areas, and nutritional assessment to enhance treatment outcomes.
