Marston AP, Costello MS, Farhood Z, et al. - Researchers conducted a case-control study involving 58 pediatric patients who underwent surgical repair of a cleft lip in order to investigate how pediatric patient demographic factors and scar anatomic features are associated with scar outcomes following cleft lip surgical repair. Outcomes revealed worse overall scar outcomes among black patients vs white patients. They observed a significant association of depressed scar height with overall scar appearance at both 6 and 12 months after surgical repair.
