Assessment

Primary outcomes

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.

Results

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.
