Abstract

Monitoring of congenital malformations and concomitant somatic diseases in children is one of the important indicators of the causal influence of environmental factors on the health of the population. From the moment of birth, a child with congenital cleft lip and palate differs significantly from healthy peers not only externally, but also morpho-functional features of the structure of the primary section of the digestive and respiratory systems and often has a greater number of previous diseases in the history. Purpose: To determine the structure and frequency of somatic morbidity in children with congenital cleft lip and palate in regions with petrochemical ecotoxicants. Materials and methods: During the study, 3463 children from birth to 16 years old with congenital cleft lip were treated and monitored at the Department of Maxillofacial Surgery at the Republican Children's Clinical Hospital, Ufa for the period from January 1, 1985 to December 31, 2019 and / or sky. The diagnosis of concomitant systemic pathology was recorded based on the findings of the district pediatricians, ENT doctor, gastroenterologist, immunologist, allergist, rheumatologist from outpatient and inpatient records of the examined patients. Conclusion. In the course of our study, a direct relationship was noted between the level of environmental pollution by ecotoxicants and the frequency of concomitant somatic diseases in children with congenital cleft lip and palate. This must be taken into account in the pre- and postoperative algorithm for the rehabilitation of children with congenital cleft lip and palate with the involvement of pediatricians to improve the general somatic state of children when planning reconstructive surgery.
