This scoping review aimed to collate and critically assess the available literature regarding the quality and readability of online cleft\u2010related information. Four electronic databases (MEDLINE via PubMed, Embase via Ovid, Web of Science Core Collection and Scopus) were searched from inception to 17 June 2025. Eligible studies evaluated the quality or readability of cleft\u2010related information on websites, social media platforms or YouTube. Thirty\u2010four studies met the inclusion criteria. Quality assessment tools were used to evaluate accuracy, reliability and comprehensiveness, while readability instruments measured ease of understanding for lay audiences. Twenty\u2010one of the 34 included studies (61.8%) reported low or inconsistent quality of cleft\u2010related online information, with many websites and videos lacking reliability, completeness or readability appropriate for the general public. Online health information about orofacial clefts is abundant but frequently suboptimal in quality and readability. Families may be exposed to misleading or difficult\u2010to\u2010understand content, which could hinder informed decision\u2010making. However, non\u2010English language studies were under\u2010represented in this review, which may limit the generalisability of findings. Clinicians and professional organisations should guide families towards trustworthy resources and develop accessible, high\u2010quality online information. Improving the reliability and readability of cleft\u2010related content has the potential to enhance patient education, shared decision\u2010making and long\u2010term treatment outcomes.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/ocr.70151","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,5,30]],"date-time":"2026-05-30T07:59:58Z","timestamp":1780127998000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Quality of Online Information Relating to Cleft Lip and Palate: A Scoping Review"],"prefix":"10.1111","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9462-2596","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Emilija D.","family":"Jensen","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Australian Research Centre for Population Oral Health, Adelaide Dental School The University of Adelaide  Adelaide Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5688-1079","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Maurice J.","family":"Meade","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Orthodontic Unit, Adelaide Dental School The University of Adelaide  Adelaide Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Markus Luke","family":"Seifert","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Australian Research Centre for Population Oral Health, Adelaide Dental School The University of Adelaide  Adelaide Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Xiangqun","family":"Ju","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Australian Research Centre for Population Oral Health, Adelaide Dental School The University of Adelaide  Adelaide Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Rachel","family":"Roberts","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Psychology The University of Adelaide  Adelaide Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Peter J.","family":"Anderson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Cleft and Craniofacial SA Unit Women's and Children's Hospital  North Adelaide Australia"},{"name":"Discipline of Paediatrics, Adelaide Medical School The University of Adelaide  Adelaide Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Lisa M.","family":"Jamieson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Australian Research Centre for Population Oral Health, Adelaide Dental School The University of Adelaide  Adelaide Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,5,30]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_13_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/sj.bdj.2009.1137"},{"key":"e_1_2_13_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.21307\/aoj-2020-043"},{"key":"e_1_2_13_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ajodo.2024.05.018"},{"key":"e_1_2_13_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/s12874-017-0468-4"},{"key":"e_1_2_13_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/s12874-018-0611-x"},{"key":"e_1_2_13_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/1364557032000119616"},{"key":"e_1_2_13_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/1748-5908-5-69"},{"key":"e_1_2_13_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.5195\/jmla.2017.88"},{"key":"e_1_2_13_10_1","unstructured":"Quality of Online Information Relating to Orofacial Clefts: A Scoping Review https:\/\/osf.io\/rby6p\/."},{"key":"e_1_2_13_11_1","first-page":"467","article-title":"Chapter\u00a011: Scoping Reviews","volume":"169","author":"Peters M.
