| Abstract |
Treatment of Robin sequence is often either invasive or of unproven effectiveness. The pre-epiglottic baton plate (PEBP) is a well-studied alternative, yet is not widely applied internationally. We report on a prospective 3-center cohort study investigating this treatment. Based on an agreed protocol, parents of infants with Robin sequence referred to participating centers were offered enrollment, which involved taking a maxillary cast followed by endoscopy to fit the plate and sleep studies to monitor its effectiveness. Recordings were centrally analyzed by sleep specialists blinded to timing and center. Primary outcome was the mixed-obstructive apnea index, defined as the number of such apneas/h of sleep; secondary outcomes included the desaturation index to <80% pulse oximeter saturation and weight gain. Of 75 infants referred, 49 could be included; 1 center failed to perform appropriate sleep studies. Within a mean hospitalization of 3 weeks, the mixed-obstructive apnea index decreased (median; interquartile range) from 15.9 (6.3-31.5) to 2.3 (1.2-5.4); it decreased further to 0.7 (0.1-2.4) in the 32 infants who had a successful 3-month follow-up sleep study performed. The desaturation index normalized (from 0.38 (0-2.7) to 0.0 (0-0.1)). Mean standard deviation score for weight remained unchanged between admission and follow-up, while the proportion of tube-fed infants decreased from 74 to 14%. This prospective multi-center cohort study confirms retrospective audits on the effectiveness of PEBP treatment in improving upper airway obstruction and feeding problems, the main clinical problems of infants with Robin sequence. International collaboration is required to compare this with other treatment approaches. Number NCT02266043 , Registered 30/09/2014; registered partially retrospectively. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 10 March 2017.
All research outputs
#20,408,464
of 22,958,253 outputs
Outputs from Orphanet Journal of Rare Diseases
#2,480
of 2,636 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#268,244
of 307,900 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Orphanet Journal of Rare Diseases
#50
of 57 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,958,253 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 2,636 research outputs from this source. They typically receive more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 7.6. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 307,900 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 57 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
