The purpose of this study was to determine whether the huge disaster such as the Great East Japan Earthquake and Tsunami affected the incidence of cleft lip/palate in a part of damaged area called Miyagi prefecture.

Not applicable
Considering that organogenic period was most sensitive to factors of circumstances, the affected period of birth was defined as during a year after 9 months of the disaster. The control period was setting as during 5 years before the affected period.
Main outcome measures were incidences of cleft lip/palate during the control period and the affected period by the Great East Japan Earthquake and Tsunami.

Male and Female
Annual and monthly numbers of births with cleft lip/palate patient were obtained from the medical records of division of plastic surgery at Tohoku university hospital and Miyagi children's hospital. Considering that organogenic period was most sensitive to factors of circumstances, the affected period of birth was defined as during a year after 9 months of the disaster.
Those of births were not registered at Miyagi prefecture. Or those who were diagnosed as submucosal cleft palate.

Results: There were no significant differences between the control and affected periods in the prevalence (per 10,000 live births) of cleft lip with or without palate (13.8 versus 16.7; p=0.342), isolated cleft palate (5.2 versus 3.2; p=0.267), or overall cleft lip and/or cleft palate (19.0 versus 19.9; p=0.799).
Conclusions: We did not observe that the 2011 Tohoku earthquake and tsunami affected the birth prevalence of CL/P in Miyagi prefecture, even though it severely impacted human health in the area.

Design: This was a retrospective cohort study.
Participants: The annual and monthly numbers of infants born with CL/P were obtained from medical records. The affected period of birth was defined as one year from December 1, 2011 to November 30, 2012. The control period was 5 years from January 1, 2006 to December 31, 2010. The annual and monthly numbers of births in Miyagi prefecture were obtained using e-Stat, which is a portal for Japanese government statistics.
Main outcome measures: Main outcome measures were birth prevalence of CL/P during the control and affected periods.
