    • To determine the incidence of congenital diaphragmatic hernia in Avon.
    • To compare current incidence rates with historical data.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective study of birth records in Avon.
    • Data collected from 1974 to 1977.
    • Calculation of incidence per 1000 births.

    Main Results:

    • The incidence of diaphragmatic hernia in Avon was found to be 0.54 per 1000 births.
