The outcomes defined were to study the association between the increased stress scores and the occurrence of nonsyndromic cleft lip and\/or palate. Statistical analysis was performed using the Chi-square test.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results:<\/jats:title>\n \n The association between the high maternal stress scores and the occurrence of nonsyndromic cleft lip and\/or palate was not found to be significant (\n P<\/jats:italic>\n = 0.3220). A significant association was noted between increased maternal age and increased stress levels in the cleft group (\n P<\/jats:italic>\n = 0.0001).\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n No significant association was found between the increased stress scores and the occurrence of nonsyndromic cleft lip and\/or palate. However, mothers of cleft children whose age was 35 years and above at the time of conception were noted to have higher stress levels.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.4103\/njms.njms_326_21","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,4,10]],"date-time":"2023-04-10T03:40:37Z","timestamp":1681098037000},"page":"S36-S40","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/lww.0000000000001000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Could maternal stress be a causal factor for nonsyndromic cleft lip and\/or palate"],"prefix":"10.4103","volume":"13","author":[{"given":"Kiran Sunil","family":"Mahapure","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Rajesh S.","family":"Powar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"276","reference":[{"key":"R1-5-20240908","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"40","DOI":"10.1016\/j.wombi.2010.08.001","article-title":"Non-syndromic cleft lip and palate: Could stress be a causal factor?","volume":"24","author":"Wallace","year":"2011","journal-title":"Women Birth"},{"key":"R2-5-20240908","first-page":"175","article-title":"Etiology of bilateral cleft lip and palate","volume":"5","author":"Poradowska","year":"1963","journal-title":"Acta Chir Plast"},{"key":"R3-5-20240908","first-page":"13","article-title":"Effects of socioeconomic factors on the incidence and pattern of oro-facial cleft","volume":"3","author":"Fathallah","year":"2007","journal-title":"Basrah J Surg"},{"key":"R4-5-20240908","first-page":"639","article-title":"Incidence and outcome of facial clefts in Hungary","volume":"127","author":"Czeizel","year":"1986","journal-title":"Orv Hetil"},{"key":"R5-5-20240908","first-page":"103","article-title":"Epidemiology of cleft lip and palate.
