This paper addresses the performance of systems which use commercial wireless devices to make bistatic RF channel measurements for non-contact respiration sensing. Published research has typically presented results from short controlled experiments on one system. In this paper, we deploy an extensive real-world comparative human subject study. We observe twenty patients during their overnight sleep (a total 160 hours), contact sensors record ground-truth breathing data, patient position is...

Objective: To assess risk factors for oronasal fistula, including 2-stage palate repair. Design: Retrospective analysis. Setting: Tertiary children’s hospital. Patients: Patients with non-submucosal cleft whose entire repair was completed at the study hospital between 2005 and 2013 postsurgical follow-up. Interventions: Hierarchical binary logistic regression assessed predictive value of variables fistula. Variables tested inclusion were 2 stage repair, Veau classification, sex, age surgery...

The current study examined stop consonant production in children with cleft lip and/or palate (CP ± L) 2-6 months following palatal surgery.

To examine ear and hearing clinical practices across American Cleft Palate-Craniofacial Association (ACPA) approved teams in the United States.

To evaluate the association of 2-stage cleft palate (CP) surgery on velopharyngeal insufficiency (VPI) incidence, speech surgeries, and cleft-related surgical burden.Retrospective cohort with follow-up 4 to 19 years.Academic, tertiary children's hospital.Patients who underwent CP between 2000 2017. Exclusions included submucous or age at last contact under 3.9.Cleft surgery, completed in either a single-stage repair.Rates VPI diagnosis total surgeries; t tests, tests proportion, linear...

To evaluate the effect of an American Cleft Palate-Craniofacial Association (ACPA)-approved multidisciplinary team on velopharyngeal insufficiency (VPI) diagnosis and treatment.Retrospective cohort setting; tertiary children's hospital patients; children with cleft palate repair identified through procedure codes.Velopharyngeal was assigned based surgeon or assessment. Age at surgery recorded. Difference in age rate VPI analyzed t test. Multivariate linear logistic regression adjusted for...

To identify concepts and constructs important to parents of children with Pierre Robin Sequence (PRS).Qualitative study.All received some care at a tertiary hospital additional outside facilities. Interviews were conducted in nonclinical locations, including remote locations.Parents <5 years old diagnosis PRS. Prior treatments included observation, positioning, nasal trumpet, mandibular distraction osteogenesis, tracheostomy, gastrostomy.Semi-structured interviews individuals (4) groups...

Objective To describe current postoperative management practices following cleft palate repair. Design A survey was administered to surgeons collect information on their demographic characteristics, surgical training, practice, and preferences. Setting Eighteen tertiary referral hospitals across the United States. Participants: Surgeons (n = 67) performing primary Results Postoperative diet restrictions were imposed by 92% of surgeons; pureed foods allowed at one week after surgery 90% a...

<h3>BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE:</h3> Midnasal stenosis is a poorly defined entity that may be component of other conditions nasal obstruction contributing to respiratory distress in infants. We sought establish whether midnasal vault narrowing well-defined syndromes narrowing, such as bilateral choanal atresia and pyriform aperture stenosis, characterize the anatomy patients with syndromic craniosynostosis. <h3>MATERIALS METHODS:</h3> A convenience sample atresia, Apert Crouzon maxillofacial CT...

Previous investigations have demonstrated that naturalistic listening in real time (NLRT) can be used reliability to assess prelinguistic vocalizations and is less time-consuming than phonetic transcription. The current investigation was performed examine the correspondence of syllable consonant information obtained using a modified methodology compared broad transcription for 20 toddlers with repaired cleft palate. A forty-minute vocalization sample each toddler. Two listeners listened...

Cleft palatoplasty is typically performed around 10 to 12 months of age in the US, and delays can negatively affect speech development. Early during COVID-19, elective surgeries were canceled. The aims this study (1) identify overall risk factors for greater at (2) analyze COVID-19.

To identify behaviors associated with poor caregiver-reported oral health in a population of young children cleft palate or without lip (CP ± L). Observational cross-sectional study. U.S. Cleft Outcomes Research NETwork (CORNET) Consortium Eight hundred thirty-four caregivers US CP L ages 14 to 48 months who provided demographic and medical information answered 8 items on (eg, sugar-sweetened beverage intake frequency, having regular source dental care, toothbrushing, fluoride exposure)....

Evaluate impact of single-stage versus staged palate repair on the risk developing malocclusion among patients with cleft (CP).Retrospective cohort study 2000-2016.Academic, tertiary children's hospital.Patients undergoing CP between 1999-2015.CP repair, categorized as either or staged.Time to development Class III malocclusion.967 were included; 60.1% had a two-stage and 39.9% single-stage. Malocclusion was diagnosed in 28.2% patients. In model examining all at ≤5 years (n = 659), who not...
