Tables S3, S4, S5, S6 summarize the results of the TRIMM and HAPLIN analyses by cleft type (I-CL/P vs. I-CP) and study population (Norway vs. Denmark).
Table 6 presents the association between tooth agenesis by quadrant and by cleft type.
Comparison by cleft type (isolated CL versus combined CL/P) was again not significant (p = 0.79), indicating that combined cleft lip with cleft palate does not significantly differ in facial shape from isolated cleft lip in terms of surface facial morphology.
More detailed summaries of these results by analytic method, cleft type, and population are presented in Tables S2, S3, S4, and S5, as are Fisher-combined p-values for iCL/P and iCP after separate TRIMM and HAPLIN analyses in each population.
The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of cleft sidedness, and the number of congenitally missing teeth in regard to cleft type and gender.
Sex, cleft type, and cleft laterality were not associated with increased rates of HTS.
A significant relationship was also found between cleft type and speech outcomes.
Children were analysed according to cleft type and whether or not they had additional congenital anomalies.
Most studies of African populations have reported isolated cleft lip as the most common cleft type, and cleft palate the least (e.g. [ 11, 12]), which may represent a departure from the pattern of clefting reported for non-African populations, where CLP and CP are most common (Table 1).
Especially, the limitation was evident in classifying cleft type and comparing the results with those of previous studies.
