Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia Survivors: Outcomes in Infancy, Childhood and Adolescence

Congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) remains highly challenging. CDH is complex and often results in multi-system morbidity among survivors. In the past decade, significant technologic and medical advancements have enhanced the care of critically ill infants, including those born with CDH. Such advancements have led to improved survival rates among CDH infants at certain high-volume centres, but this has occurred at the expense of increased shortand long-term morbidities for patients who previously would have died.
