  • Title: Growth in children with Pierre Robin sequence and isolated cleft palate.
    Author: Laitinen S, Heliövaara A, Pere A, Ranta R.
    Journal: Acta Paediatr; 1994 Nov; 83(11):1161-4. PubMed ID: 7841731.
    Abstract:
    Postnatal height and weight growth were assessed in 50 children (20 boys) with Pierre Robin sequence and in 58 children (27 boys) with isolated cleft palate, born in 1967-86. The height and weight measurements from birth to 12 years were collected retrospectively from child health centers and schools. The current Finnish relative weight and SD scores for height were used for growth assessment. The birth size of children with Pierre Robin sequence did not differ from those with isolated cleft palate or from healthy children, on the basis of Finnish norms. During the first year after birth, children with Pierre Robin sequence were shorter and lighter than those with isolated cleft palate but later caught up with them and the Finnish norms. Children with Pierre Robin sequence born prematurely or with associated anomalies showed more deficient growth.
