Preprints are preliminary research reports that have not been certified by peer review. They should not be relied on to guide clinical practice or health-related behavior and should not be reported in news media as established information.
Preprints posted online allow authors to receive rapid feedback and the entire scientific community can appraise the work for themselves and respond appropriately. Those comments are posted alongside the preprints for anyone to read them and serve as a post publication assessment.

ABSTRACT
Objectives to assess the levels of anxiety, depression, stress and fear of COVID-19 in non-syndromic cleft lip and/or palate (NSCL/P) children parents and caregivers.Materials and Methods Cross-sectional case-control study conducted at a Craniofacial Anomalies Rehabilitation Center, Brazil. Non-probabilistic convenience sampling was used and data were collected between October 2021 and November 2022. Variables were assessed by Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale (DASS-21) and Fear of COVID-19 Scale (FC-19S). Pearson's chi-square test and multivariate binary logistic regression model have been performed.Results Data were obtained of 80 NSCL/P parents group and 130 by control group. Severe symptoms were higher in NSCL/P parents indicated by rates (8.8% vs 69% to anxiety; 12.5% vs 8.5% to depression and 17.5% vs 10.0% to stress). As for the predilection in case group there was an association (p < 0.05) for manifestation of mild stress (OR 4.09; 95%CI 1.28–13.06). Control group caregivers were more fear of COVID-19 (43.8% vs 28.7% p < 0.05).Conclusion There were no significant differences in anxiety, depression, and stress levels between groups. NSCL/P children parents and caregivers were less fear of COVID-19. There is a predilection for severe symptoms in the case group.Clinical Relevance This is the first cross-sectional study analyzing fear of COVID-19 in NSCL/P children parents and caregivers. These people should receive greater attention by multiprofessional team due to the predisposition of illness in mental health.
