This study showed that children with CP experience higher rates of SDB after palatoplasty than the general pediatric population. Within the cohort, children with syndromic CP and isolated RS were more likely to have obstructive sleep disorders than nonsyndromic children after palatoplasty. Clinicians should counsel caregivers accordingly and closely monitor these groups for SDB after palate repair.
