Figure 2. Spearman's rank correlation of the total PSC score versus VELO scores in patients ages three to five years old (A) and six to eight years old (B).
The data are represented as Spearman's rank correlation coefficient between the VELO total and sub-scores versus the PSC total score. The data are further stratified by age group and cleft type. Statistical significance (p ≤ 0.05) is represented by the shape of the data point.
The number of patients with a cleft lip in the older age group was inadequate to complete the analysis.
rs: Spearman's rank correlation coefficient, CL: cleft lip, CP: cleft palate, CLP: cleft lip and palate, SL: Speech Limitations, SP: Swallowing Problems, SD: Situational Difficulty, EI: Emotional Impact, PO: Perception by Others, CI: Caregiver Impact
