Children with cleft lip and/or palate are at increased risk of obstructive sleep apnea. The prevalence of obstructive sleep apnea in this population is unknown. The purpose of this study was to assess the frequency of obstructive symptoms and obstructive sleep apnea diagnosis in the cleft population. We hypothesized that obstructive symptoms present more frequently in children with orofacial clefts than unaffected children, and that frequency varies by cleft sub-type.
