Summary
Right-sided congenital diaphragmatic hernia (RCDH) in infants has a 50% mortality rate, with low Apgar scores and high alveolar-arterial gradients predicting death. Survival trends are improving despite high morbidity and prolonged hospital stays.
Area of Science:
- Pediatric Surgery
- Neonatal Medicine
- Congenital Anomalies
Background:
- Congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) is a serious condition affecting newborns.
- Right-sided CDH (RCDH) is less common than left-sided CDH and may have different outcomes.
- Understanding RCDH-specific factors is crucial for improving infant care.
