Key Points

Lip asymmetry prevalence was determined in children following unilateral cleft lip repair, highlighting significant factors.
The study validated the Unilateral Cleft Lip Asymmetry Scale (UCLAS), finding it effective for measuring lip asymmetry.
Conducted as a cross-sectional study with 80 children, the research aimed to identify factors associated with lip asymmetry.
Findings support the need for targeted interventions in managing lip asymmetry post cleft lip repair for better outcomes.

Implication

Cross-sectional study assesses lip asymmetry prevalence and validates UCLAS in Ugandan children, indicating key associated factors.

Abstract

Abstract This cross-sectional study involving 80 children assessed lip asymmetry after primary unilateral cleft lip (UCL) repair at CoRSU Rehabilitation Hospital in Uganda. The research aimed to determine the prevalence and associated factors of lip asymmetry and validate a visual analog Unilateral Cleft Lip Asymmetry Scale (UCLAS).
