People with cleft lip and palate live less long
People with cleft lip and palate have an increased risk of mortality. Analysing data on 5331 people up to age 55 from the Danish cleft lip and palate register, Christensen and colleagues (p 1405) found that those with cleft lip and palate or with cleft palate alone were more likely to have died than the rest of the population or than people with cleft lip alone. The risk of suicide and all causes of death was higher in people with cleft lip and palate; mortality due to cancer was marginally higher.
