Abstract

There have been many reports on congenital anomalies associated with cleft lip and/or palate (CL/CLP) in Japan. However, these reports included data only on patients who came to hospitals; thus the real situation regarding these anomalies remains unclear. Therefore, we surveyed newborns at all delivery facilities in the central area of Japan for the presence of these anomalies, following their progress for 12 consecutive years; at the end of that time, questionnaires were collected and analyzed. In this article, we describe our results.
