PD CEN/TR 16824:2015CEN/TR 16824:2015 (E) 5 Introduction In Europe around 1 in 700 babies is born with cleft lip and/or palate, the most common congenital anomaly of the head and neck region. The incidence is approximately 1,6 per 1 00
22、0 live births, but there is some variance across Europe 1. Estimates indicate there are over 900 000 individuals (babies, children and adults) with clefts in Europe 2 - a significant figure, especially when one considers that not only the patients but also their families are affected in terms of psy
23、chosocial adjustment and having to endure the burden of a long treatment pathway. In round figures the incidence by type of cleft may be summarized as follows 3: Table 1 Incidence of Type of Cleft 1)Type of Cleft Percent of Total Cleft palate only 50 % Cleft lip (alveolus) only 20 % Cleft lip and pa
24、late 20 % Bilateral cleft lip and palate 10 % In some cases the cleft may be associated with other problems which need specialist management and these need to be identified early 4. Accurate diagnosis (antenatal or post natal), the provision of appropriate information and support for the family, and
25、 the establishment of a structured care pathway, especially in the early months, will ensure that these infants thrive and develop like all other children. Access to good treatment varies widely throughout Europe, meaning that many children born with clefts are never given the opportunity to realize
26、 their full potential. The concept of a comprehensive specialist-team approach to care is not universal. Furthermore babies with clefts are still institutionalized in some countries in Europe 5. The aim of this report is to provide an informative document which can be used by those countries where n
27、ational protocols need to be established. 1) For further information on different types of cleft see Annex A. PD CEN/TR 16824:2015CEN/TR 16824:2015 (E) 6 1 Scope This Technical Report specifies recommendations for the care of babies born with cleft lip and/or cleft palate at time of diagnosis (ante-
28、 and/or postnatal) and the year following birth or diagnosis (whichever is later), including referral processes, establishment of feeding, parental support and care pathways. Recommendations on all aspects of surgery, including timing and the use of pre surgical orthopaedics is excluded. 2 Terms and
29、 definitions For the purpose of this document, the following terms and definitions apply. 2.1 assisted feeding use of a soft, squeezable, bottle and/or adjusted teat and/or sipper spout to allow delivery of milk to the infant who is unable to generate suction to extract fluid independently Note 1 to
30、 entry: It enables the infant to feed, effectively and safely, the required volume within an acceptable time frame. Note 2 to entry: For further information on types of bottles and teats used for assisted feeding of babies born with clefts see Annex C. 2.2 cleft centre hospital with a designated cle
31、ft team and paediatric facilities 2.3 cleft surgeon surgeon trained in cleft surgery with a major commitment to cleft care and who practices cleft surgery on a regular and frequent basis 2.4 cleft team multidisciplinary team which comprises the following members with proven competence in their field
32、 of expertise, paediatric experience and a major commitment to cleft care: a care coordinator/manager of the service; a surgeon trained in primary cleft surgery; a surgeon specializing in secondary cleft surgery such as bone grafting and orthognathic surgery; an orthodontist; a speech and language t
33、herapist; a nurse specializing in cleft care; a psychologist with recognized clinical training; an audiologist; an ENT surgeon; a geneticist; a restorative dentist; a paediatric dentist; a dental technician Note 1 to entry: While not all specialities will be required for every patient, access to all
34、 these practitioners is available when needed. Note 2 to entry: If patients receive some aspects of care nearer home (e.g. orthodontics, speech and language therapy) they receive care by trained specialists working in collaboration with the cleft team. 2.5 Eurocleft Eurocleft Project 1996 2000 funde
35、d by the European Commission having the aim to improve management and understanding of cleft lip and palate and create a network of European researchers and clinicians to facilitate information exchange PD CEN/TR 16824:2015CEN/TR 16824:2015 (E) 7 2.6 cleft support organization non-medical group with
36、 paid staff and/or volunteers offering advice and support to families affected by cleft 2.7 nurse specializing in cleft care specialist responsible for planning and coordination of early cleft care, including feeding assessment, development of a feeding plan, providing support to the family and liai
37、sing with other health care professionals Note 1 to entry: In the absence of a nurse, these services are provided by another trained professional with similar skills. Note 2 to entry: An illustrative role of a nurse specializing in cleft care is provided in Annex C. 2.8 palatal plate presurgical ort
38、hopaedics intraoral appliance which can be used in the treatment of infants with cleft palate Note 1 to entry: It can help with feeding and can be used to improve physiological tongue position and to influence maxillary growth in preparation for surgery. Note 2 to entry: In newborns with Pierre-Robi
39、n-Sequence a plate with velar extension can be helpful to treat upper airway obstruction and avoid invasive surgical procedures, e.g. tracheostomy. 2.9 Pierre Robin Sequence sequence of symptoms present in a newborn; micrognathia (small lower jaw), cleft palate, and glossoptosis (posteriorly placed
40、tongue) that combine to cause airway obstruction Note 1 to entry: The back of the tongue falls back, particularly when the baby is supine, and occludes the airway. 3 Diagnosis and referrals 3.1 Antenatal diagnosis 3.1.1 Recommendations on making the diagnosis The foetal face can be studied with ultr
41、asound very early in gestation. Examination of the foetal face should be a component of guidelines for second trimester ultrasound examination 6. 3.1.2 Limitation of ultrasound Although the correct ultrasound examination technique should enable clefting of the upper lip to be identified, it is diffi
42、cult to detect an isolated cleft palate antenatally 7. What is often described as a cleft palate on ultrasound may be just a cleft alveolus. Training of the professional undertaking the ultrasound diagnosis should include information on basic embryology of clefting and how treatment of clefts is man
43、aged. 3.1.3 Suspected cleft lip and/or palate If a cleft has been suspected, there should be a referral to a specialist in ultrasound diagnostics to confirm the diagnosis. As a cleft lip and/or palate may be associated with other anomalies, early assessment and diagnosis is necessary. PD CEN/TR 1682
44、4:2015CEN/TR 16824:2015 (E) 8 Clear information about cleft lip and palate should be given to families if a cleft is suspected. Genetic counselling for patients and families should be available on request. The main topic for discussion is the association with other anomalies and the recurrence risk
45、for following pregnancy. If the cleft is part of a complex syndrome, specific information about it and about the foetus viability should be given to parents during the meeting. In the absence of other anomalies, a foetus with a cleft does not require a change in standard obstetric care. 3.1.4 Recomm
46、endations on referral to the cleft team The following recommendations should be followed: a referral from the antenatal diagnostics unit to a multidisciplinary cleft team and to a cleft support organization (where it exists) should be made as early as possible after diagnosis; the referring unit sho
47、uld ensure it maintains up to date contact information on the local or regional cleft team(s); parents should be contacted by a member of the cleft team as soon as possible after receiving the referral; and parents should be offered a face to face meeting with a member of the cleft team within one m
48、onth of the confirmed diagnosis. The aim of the referral to the cleft team is to provide parents with support and counselling, giving clear information about treatment and successful management of cleft lip and palate. Families do not generally expect the diagnosis or know anything about cleft lip a
49、nd palate and they have a lot of questions and concerns about bringing up a child with a cleft. Some families may be thinking about terminating the pregnancy. Psychosocial support for parents who are expecting a child with a cleft should be available. Parents may need help in normalizing the pregnancy and understanding that the cleft does not define the baby. The following topics may need addressing: grief adjustment process; possible feeling of guilt; impact on the family; how to handle reactions from others; and whether or not it
