Abstract
Background: Congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) with congenital heart disease (CHD) has a poor prognosis. This study aimed to establish the prognostic factors of CDH associated with ventricular septal defect (VSD), which is the most commonly encountered CHD.
Methods: We conducted a single-center, retrospective observational study including neonatal cases of CDH with CHD managed at our hospital between 2000 and 2022. The risk factors for CDH in patients with VSD were established by comparing survivors and non-survivors.
Results: Among the 84 infants with CDH, 14 (17%) were associated with CHD, including 11 cases of VSD (79% of CHD). The survival rate of patients with CDH prenatally diagnosed with left-sided disease and VSD was 56% (four of nine patients died). The rate of low lung volume (observed/expected lung area-to-head circumference ratio ≤ 35%) was significantly higher in non-survivors than in survivors (75% vs. 0%, p = 0.048). All non-survivors had associated severe CHD (n = 3) or severe pulmonary hypertension (n = 1).
Conclusion: Low lung volume was a risk factor for CDH with at least moderate to small size of VSD, which was comparable with that in patients with isolated CDH.
期刊介绍:
Publishing articles of scientific excellence in pediatrics and child health delivery, Pediatrics International aims to encourage those involved in the research, practice and delivery of child health to share their experiences, ideas and achievements. Formerly Acta Paediatrica Japonica, the change in name in 1999 to Pediatrics International, reflects the Journal''s international status both in readership and contributions (approximately 45% of articles published are from non-Japanese authors). The Editors continue their strong commitment to the sharing of scientific information for the benefit of children everywhere.
Pediatrics International opens the door to all authors throughout the world. Manuscripts are judged by two experts solely upon the basis of their contribution of original data, original ideas and their presentation.
