Data on patient demographic factors, cleft type, and the surgical technique used were collected and analyzed from June 11, 2009, to November 21, 2017. Scar outcomes were subjectively rated by 3 physicians at 6-month and 12-month postoperative intervals.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Main Outcomes and Measures<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Overall scar outcomes at 6-month and 12-month postoperative intervals were based on rating of scar appearance, color, width, height, and alignment by using a subjective, 5-point scar-assessment scale in which 1 indicated the poorest aesthetic appearance and 5, the ideal aesthetic appearance.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      A total of 58 pediatric patients who underwent cleft lip repair were evaluated; mean (SD) age at time of repair, 4.8 (3.0) months. Of these, 44 (76%) were male and 14 (24%) were female, 37 (64%) were white, 11 (19%) were black, 7 (12%) were Hispanic, 2 (3%) were Asian, and 1 (2%) was of another race\/ethnicity. Scores on the Cohen \u03ba interrater test indicated either a substantial or almost perfect strength of agreement among the physicians grading the scar outcomes. At 12 months, patients with black skin type had worse overall scar outcomes than patients with white skin type (odds ratio [OR], \u22120.31; 95% CI, \u22121.15 to \u22120.14;\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u2009.03).

The overall median lip scar outcome significantly improved between the 6-month and 12-month follow-up assessments (scar-assessment scale score, 3.3; interquartile range [IQR], 2.7-4.0 vs 4.0; IQR, 3.3-4.3;\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009&lt;\u2009.001).
