Updating the Epidemiology of Cleft Lip with or without Cleft Palate

Abstract

The average prevalence of cleft lip with or without cleft palate was 7.75 per 10,000 live births in the United States and 7.94 per 10,000 live births internationally. The trends diverged over the 5-year period, as the rate was stable in the United States and the international rate declined.
