Aim. To determine the structure of functional disorders and their dynamic changes in children with congenital cleft lip and palate from the position of International Classification of Functioning. Materials and methods. The indices, included into International Classification of Functioning, were assessed in 77 children (age range 1 to 6 years) with congenital cleft lip and palate, who received a complex five-stage therapy. Results. Direct correlation between the type of cleft and the value of disorders in classification constituents “function” and “structure” was revealed. Thus, in patients with bilateral cleft lip and palate, disorders of functions reached 82 %, in children with one-sided cleft lip and palate - 45 %. In children of group I, more marked structural disorders were observed, forming from 24 to 96 %, in children of groups 2 and 3 - from 5 to 49 %. In children with bilateral cleft lip and palate, there were observed more marked abnormalities in the category “activity and participation” (25-95 %) compared to children of groups 2 and 3 (0-24 %). Conclusions. Application of International Classification of Functioning for children with congenital cleft lip and palate shows a wide range of the assessed functional disorders and the possibility of using it for dynamic analysis of efficiency and treatment.
