Abstract

Background: Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia (CDH) remains a significant cause of death in the newborn. With preoperative stabilization strategies and advances in neonatal critical care, survival in the term infant now approaches 70%.Although prematurity is the most significant risk factor for morbidity and mortality in most neonatal diseases, its impact on infants with CDH has been poorly described. We evaluated the outcomes of preterm (<37 weeks) infants with CDH compared to term infants from the Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia Registry (CDHR).
