Abstract

Study Objective: Analysis of the detection of congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) in the fetus at the antenatal stage and perinatal outcomes of newborns with CDH in the Russian Federation in a sample of women who applied to the perinatal consultation of the National Medical Research Center for Obstetrics, Gynecology and Perinatology named after academician V.I. Kulakov. Study Design: Retrospective study. Materials and Methods. The study included 235 cases of CDH in fetuses and newborns were selected by the federal perinatal consultation of the National Medical Research Center for Obstetrics, Gynecology and Perinatology named after academician V.I. Kulakov. The following were retrospectively analyzed: medical and social characteristics of pregnant women, results of ultrasound and MRI examination of fetuses, delivery features and perinatal outcomes. Study Results. The number of women with fetal CDH in the perinatal consultation of the Center continues to grow every year. In 3/4 of the treated patients, fetal CDH was detected in the 2nd trimester of pregnancy, which exceeds the European level of detection. But against this background, an extremely low level of invasive prenatal diagnosis was noted. Detection using ultrasound and MRI of liver infection in the chest, including a group with a prognosis of high neonatal survival of 2.2–4 times. The perinatal mortality rate with CDH in the Centers detection is 43.4%. The most common method of delivery is the natural birth. The optimal term of delivery with the least increase in postnatal loss should be considered the period of 38–39 weeks of pregnancy. Forecast of survival of newborns. At the same time, the Apgar score does not have statistical indicators of differences in surviving and deceased newborns, regardless of the method of delivery, which is associated with a violation of child development. Conclusion. The level of detection of CDH and perinatal mortality of newborns is similar to the data of foreign perinatal centers that provide assistance to mothers and their newborns. Increasing the survival rate of newborns with CDH is possible with the development and implementation of an integrated system for diagnosing the severity of CDH, as this will open up the possibility of a personalized approach to the treatment of CDH.
