Abstract 3. Predicting Risk for Adverse Perioperative Events in Patients Undergoing Furlow Cleft Palate Repair

Purpose: Adverse perioperative events (A.P.E.) complicate 5–30% of cleft palatoplasties. Identifying patients at highest risk for A.P.E. may reduce morbidity, parental distress, and healthcare costs. This study aimed to identify risk factors for A.P.E. after cleft palatoplasty to develop an assessment tool quantifying individual risk
