Abstract
AbstractRecently, Ombashi et al. published a systematic review aiming to identify the pitfalls in the development and implementation as well as factors influencing long-term success of a multidisciplinary, international registry for cleft care on a global scale. The purpose of this letter to the editor is to highlight that the review failed to include the Swedish quality registry for patients born with cleft lip and palate, which fulfils the inclusion criteria. The Swedish cleft lip and palate registry is multidisciplinary, has a high coverage and reporting degree, and most outcome measures have been checked for reliability and validity. It is regularly used for open comparisons between treatment centers. Several research studies have been published based on the Swedish cleft lip and palate registry, and more are ongoing. The information we provide about the Swedish cleft lip and palate registry complements and expands the information of the results reported by Ombashi et al. in their research.
