Abstract

Objective: To examine neurodevelopment in preschool-aged children with craniofacial microsomia (CFM) relative to unaffected peers. Design: Multisite, longitudinal cohort study. Setting: Tertiary care centers in the United States. Participants: We included 92 children with CFM (“cases”) through craniofacial centers and clinics. Seventy-six children without CFM (controls) were included from pediatric practices and community advertisements. This study reports on outcomes assessed when participants were an average age of 38.4 months (SD = 1.9). Main outcome measures: We assessed cognitive and motor skills using the Bayley Scales of Infant and Toddler Development, third edition (Bayley-III), and language function using subtests from the Clinical Evaluation of Language Fundamentals—Preschool, second edition (CELF-P2). Results: Case–control differences were negligible for Bayley-III cognitive (effect sizes [ES] = −0.06, P = .72) and motor outcomes (ES = −0.19, P = .25). Cases scored lower ...
