RESUMEN
OBJECTIVES: Orofacial clefts are among the most common birth defects, with an estimated worldwide incidence of around 1.5-1.7 per 1000 live-born babies. The most frequent form of orofacial clefts is cleft lip with or without cleft palate (CL ± CP). The role of environmental factors in the development of clefts is unclear in most patients, thus the aim of this study was to estimate possible maternal risk factors in the origin of CL ± CP. MATERIALS AND METHODS: 1648 CL ± CP cases, 2654 matched controls and 57 231 population controls were evaluated from The Hungarian Case-Control Surveillance of Congenital Abnormalities. Maternal factors during the critical period in cases and controls were compared. Adjusted odds ratios (OR) with 95% confidence intervals (CI) were estimated in a multivariable conditional logistic regression model. RESULTS: Among socio-demographic data, we have found significant differences between maternal employment. The proportion of unskilled mothers (6.5%) were higher in the CL ± CP group than in controls (3.5%). Medically recorded maternal anaemia, excessive vomiting and threatened abortion were associated with a higher risk of CL ± CP. An elevated risk was also found in various acute illnesses such as influenza (OR: 2.4, 95% CI: 3.0-5.8), acute bronchitis (OR: 4.5, 95% CI: 1.6-12.6) and urinary tract infections (OR: 3.5, 95% CI: 2.0-6.0). Maternal migraine and essential hypertension occurred more frequently in the mothers of cases than in controls. CONCLUSION: The findings of this study suggest that maternal diseases and lifestyle factors during the first trimester play a significant role in the development of CL ± CP.
RESUMEN
OBJECTS: Isolated cleft palate (CPO) is the rarest form of oral clefting affecting 1-25 per 10 000 newborns worldwide. There is increasing evidence for the different pathogenetic backgrounds of CPO and cleft lip with or without cleft palate. The role of environmental factors in the origin of non-syndromic and syndromic CPO is unclear in most patients. The aim of this study was to estimate possible maternal risk factors in the origin of CPO. SETTING AND SAMPLE POPULATION: The Hungarian Case-Control Surveillance of Congenital Abnormalities contains data of 32 345 birth defect cases and 57 231 control newborns. The study samples included 751 cases with isolated CPO, 1196 matched controls and 57 231 population controls. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Maternal diseases during pregnancy in cases and population controls were compared, and adjusted ORs with 95% CI were calculated in a multivariable unconditional logistic regression model. RESULTS: Beyond the well-known robust female excess (58.9%)-maternal smoking (OR with 95% CI: 2.34, 1.94-2.81) medically recorded maternal anaemia, threatened abortion and excessive vomiting in pregnancy were associated with a higher risk for CPO in the offspring. An elevated risk was found in Graves' disease (OR: 4.30, 1.74-10.62), epilepsy (OR: 4.64, 2.44-8.82), migraine (OR: 2.82, 1.18-6.76) and essential hypertension (OR: 2.33, 1.32-4.10). Among acute diseases common cold (OR: 4.94, 3.48-7.03), acute respiratory infections (OR: 4.20, 1.49-11.82), influenza (OR: 2.95, 1.75-4.95), pulpitis (OR: 7.85, 2.80-22.03), cholecystitis (OR: 3.15, 1.16-8.60), acute urinary tract infections (OR: 4.08, 2.22-7.49) and pelvic inflammatory diseases (OR: 3.93, 1.62-9.53) during pregnancy also were associated with an increased risk for developing CPO. CONCLUSION: The findings of this study suggest that maternal diseases and lifestyle factors during the first trimester play a significant role in the development of isolated cleft palate.

INTRODUCTION: Data proves that Hungary has a leading role in the statistics of oral cancer and patients living with type 2 diabetes. AIM: Our aim was to understand the statistical correlation between oral cancer and metabolic disorder (diabetes mellitus and impaired fasting glucose) due to the valuable data from the Semmelweis University. METHOD: We analyzed the data of 835 patients diagnosed with malignant oral cancer and 587 tumor-free control patients. We investigated the incidence and location of oral cancer among patients living with diabetes, and compared these datasets with our previous data from 14 years earlier. RESULTS: We found that in oral cancer patients, 26.1% had diabetes and 20.8% had impaired fasting glucose; in the control group these ratios were 10.8% and 11.1%. This difference is significant (p<0.05). 14 years ago in the tumor group 14.6%, in the control group 5.6% had diabetes, while 9.7% and 5.5% had impaired fasting glucose. Lip cancer had the biggest incidence. CONCLUSIONS: The rise of type 2 diabetes in the tumor group was significant. This could be a burden for the health care system. We want to highlight the importance of interdisciplinary cooperation between health care professionals. Orv Hetil. 2018; 159(20): 803-807.
