ZAMORA LINARES, Carlos Evaristo y BAUZA LOPEZ, JuanGuillermo. Nutritional status of children suffering cleft lip and palate. Rev Cubana Pediatr [online]. 2013, vol.85, n.3, pp. 295-300. ISSN 0034-7531.
Objective: to determine the prevalence of malnutrition in children suffering cleft palate-associated cleft lip. Methods: a cross-sectional descriptive study. The sample was made up of eighty six 1-15 years-old patients who had been seen at "Hermanos Cordove" pediatric hospital located in Manzanillo, Cuba from 1995 to 2010. Results: moderate malnutrition status prevailed and the highest indexes were observed in the smallest age group. Conclusions: malnutrition prevalence in this group was lower than that found in other samples from "normal" child populations.
