Over 10,000 school children were screened for palatal abnormalities. Nine submucous clefts of the palate were detected, an incidence of 1 : 1,200. Speech defects, ear problems and hearing loss were found as complications in 55% of 50 submucous cleft palate patients studied in detail. Complications were less common (45%) if the palatal abnormality was an isolated defect. Proper management of submucous cleft palate depends upon knowledge of its incidence and natural history.

... Although both studies focused on a Dutch population, the difference could be attributed to a smaller study sample: 28 SMCP of 800 total cleft patients in the Ten Dam study versus 524 SMCP of 6916 cleft patients in the current study. Other studies conducted earlier focused on school children for the calculation of the incidence of SMCP (Stewart et al., 1971;Bagatin, 1985). Stewart et al. focused on >10 000 school children and found a total of 9 patients with SMCP, which resulted in an incidence of 1:1200 (Stewart et al., 1971). ...
