Abstract

Background: Cleft lip and palate as a frequent congenital defect is caused by genetic and environmental factors. Micronutrient folic acid as an environmental factor has shown a role as a cleft lip and palate protective factor in several previous studies. Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine the distribution of adequacy of folic acid supplementation and the association between folic acid supplementation during the first trimester of pregnancy with the incidence of cleft lip and palate at Mitra Sejati Hospital, Medan, North Sumatra, Indonesia. Methods: This study used analytical research with a case-control design and questionnaire. A Chi-square test was used to observe the association between the folic acid supplement intake during the first trimester with the incidence of cleft. The p-value ≤ 0.05 was deemed to be significant. Results: The study found that 47 mothers (51.09%) had insufficient, while 45 mothers (48.91%) had adequate folic acid supplementation. This study did not show a significant association between supplement use and all cleft incidence (p>0.05), but a significant result was found between inadequate supplementation (<400µ/day) and cleft lip with or without cleft palate occurrence (p=0.043; OR 2.4[1.022-5.625]). Conclusion: The present study showed that most pregnant women did not have sufficient folic acid supplement in the first trimester. Furthermore, inadequate maternal folic acid supplementation (<400µ/day) during the first trimester of pregnancy increased the tendency for cleft lip and cleft palate (with or without cleft lip) to occur significantly.

Abstract

Background: Cleft lip and palate is one of the most common congenital abnormalities in infants and is caused by more than one factors, which can be genetic and environmental. Defects in a family gene can result in cleft lip and palate. The study found a high family history relationship with the incidence of cleft lip and palate. Birth order studied by several researchers also has different results, which were influenced by folic acid consumption, maternal knowledge, lack of antenatal care visits and maternal age. To determine the cases of cleft lip and palate based on the birth order of the children and family history of the patients at Mitra Sejati General Hospital. Purpose: The study aimed to investigate cleft lip and cleft palate patients by birth order and family history. Methods: This research was a retrospective descriptive study using survey method. Researchers gave 13 questions through a questionnaire and data were collected and counted manually. Results: The results showed that based on the birth, the cleft case in the first birth order amounted to 25 people, the second 30 people, the third 19 people, and the fourth or more as many as 20 people. Based on family history, 27 patients had a family history of cleft lip and palate, while 67 patients did not have family history. Conclusion: The cases of clefts at Mitra Sejati General Hospital happened more frequently in the second child and most incidence did not have family history.
