Abstract
With improvements in initial care for patients with congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH), the number of CDH patients with severe disease who are surviving to discharge has increased. This growing population of patients faces a unique set of long-term challenges, multisystem adverse outcomes, and post-intervention complications requiring specialized multidisciplinary follow-up. Early identification and intervention are essential to mitigate the potential morbidity associated with these challenges. This manuscript outlines a general framework for long-term follow-up for the CDH patient, including cardiopulmonary, gastrointestinal, neurodevelopmental, surgical, and quality of life outcomes.
