It can lead to impaired hearing and can hinder speech and language development. The main treatment options are drainage of effusion with ventilation tubes, surveillance, or amplification with hearing aids. Each of these approaches has its advantages but there is currently no consensus on the most appropriate management in children with cleft palate.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Inclusion criteria:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Eligible studies will include children (&lt;18 years) with cleft palate not associated with a genetic syndrome, diagnosed with chronic otitis media with effusion, who have undergone insertion of ventilation tubes compared with either surveillance or amplification with hearing aids.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      A comprehensive search of MEDLINE, CINAHL, Embase, and Scopus will be conducted to find published literature.
