Congenital diaphragmatic hernia: postnatal predictors of mortality

Post-natal prognostic factors in CDH: experience of 11 years in a referral center in Brazil

“…The Apgar score, which is one of the first and most commonly known neonatal prognostic index, has been well-studied as a prognostic factor for CDH. 35 , 36 , 37 SNAPPE-II 38 , 39 and Oxygenation Index 37 , 40 have also been used to assess the severity for this population. All three prognostic indexes were significantly associated with mortality in the present study's cohort, in accordance with previous studies.…”

Incidental discovery of a giant congenital diaphragmatic hernia in an adult: A case report and literature review

“…Adulthood-diagnosed congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH), particularly the Bochdalek hernia, is a serious clinical entity that requires attention due to its implications for patient care and surgical intervention. CDH is a condition characterized by abnormal development of the diaphragm, a part of the lungs, resulting from defects in the septum transversum, pleuroperitoneal folds, body wall, and dorsal mesentery [ [10] , [11] , [12] ]. The etiopathogenesis of CDH is unknown, but it was initially believed to be associated with the failure of diaphragmatic closure [ 10 ].…”

The etiopathogenesis of CDH is unknown, but it was initially believed to be associated with the failure of diaphragmatic closure [ 10 ]. The etiology of CDH is unknown in over 70 % of individuals, with some cases showing autosomal recessive, autosomal dominant, and X-linked inheritance patterns [ [13] , [14] , [15] ].…”
