CwHP can present with a CL/P and other midline defects that can increase the complexity of their care. These data show a significant increase in length of stay, complications, and mortality in CwHP undergoing CL/P repair. Increased multidisciplinary attention and monitoring may be needed for these children peri- and postoperatively, especially if additional comorbidities are present. Further studies on perioperative management in this population are warranted to reduce morbidity and mortality.
