The occurrence rate of anxiety disorder in adolescent patients was 49.6% (59/119), and the occurrence rates of mild, moderate, and severe anxieties were 41.2% (49/119), 7.6% (9/119), and 0.8% (1/119), respectively. The gender, residential area, disease category, family status (one child or no children), and incidence rate of anxiety disorder in patients were statistically different (PConclusion A high anxiety disorder rate occurred in adolescent patients with cleft lip and palate. Gender and social support were important influencing factors for anxiety disorder.
