ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVES/GOALS Evaluate the impact of COVID-19 on oral clefts services including surgical and dental treatments in Puerto Rico. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION This Observational retrospective cohort study will consider patients 0-21 y/o with CL/P that visited the UPR school of Dental Medicine, Pediatric University Hospital Dr. Antonio Ortiz and ongoing case-control research project Face-Genes. Records to be used are classified as follow Pandemic (March 15, 2020 to March 15 2022) Pre-pandemic (March 15, 2015 to March 15, 2017) Power analysis (power=0.80 alpha=0.05) will be calculated. Unavailable and incomplete medical records and those that did not attended study clinic during study period will be excluded. Data extraction instrument will be based on previous published study. Descriptive statistics, Chi-square, Odds Ratios at 95% confidence intervals and multiple logistic regression will be estimated. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS:
We hypothesize that surgical and dental services in Puerto Rico will be adversely impacted because of COVID-19 pandemic. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE:
CL/P are common congenital diseases that require early interdisciplinary attention. Lack of timely care as well as surgery and treatment delays, could be associated with poorer prognosis, increased morbidity and mortality. If there is high risk of dh services during emergency situations, our findings will help to allocate the available resources
