    Congenital diaphragmatic hernia treatment in infants shows a 68% survival rate. Early intervention and defect size significantly impact outcomes for neonates with this condition.

    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric Surgery
    • Neonatology
    • Critical Care Medicine

    Background:

    • Congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) is a serious birth defect.
    • Infant survival rates for CDH vary significantly.
    • Accurate prognostic indicators are crucial for managing CDH.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the survival rates of infants treated for congenital diaphragmatic hernia.
    • To identify factors influencing survival in CDH patients.
    • To analyze the impact of presentation timing and defect severity on outcomes.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of 41 infants treated for CDH over four years.
    • Classification of infants based on respiratory distress severity and diaphragmatic defect size.
    • Comparison of survival rates between different patient groups.

    Main Results:

    • Overall survival rate for CDH infants was 68%.
    • Infants presenting after the first day of life had a 100% survival rate.
    • Neonates treated on day one had a 63% survival rate.
    • Infants without severe respiratory distress and small defects had a 95% survival rate.
    • Infants with severe respiratory distress or large defects had a 30% survival rate.

    Conclusions:

    • Early presentation and severe respiratory distress/large defects are associated with poorer CDH outcomes.
    • Timely surgical repair and management strategies tailored to defect severity are critical for improving infant survival in CDH.
