Predicting the factors prompting this intervention has yielded inconclusive findings in prior research. Thus, this review explored prenatal, perinatal, and postnatal variables associated with feeding tube placement in CDH. Retrospective cohort or case-control reporting outcomes linked to prenatal, antenatal or postnatal predictors of feeding tube placement were included, following PRISMA 2020 guidelines. Reports, case series, conference abstracts, book sections, commentary, reviews, and editorials were excluded. Database searches were conducted in August 2023 encompassed Cochrane, MEDLINE, ProQuest, Wiley, and Google Scholar. Quality assessment using the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale and Review Manager 5.4 performed meta-analysis. Within eight studies, four exhibited a low risk of bias and the other was categorized as moderate. Analysis revealed significant effects for liver herniation (OR = 3.24, 95%CI 1.64-6.39, P = 0.0007), size of herniated defects classified as C or D (OR = 7.12, 95%CI 3.46-14.65, P < 0.00001), Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation treatment (ECMO) (OR = 6.05, 95%CI 4.51-8.12, P < 0.00001), and patch repair (OR = 5.07, 95%CI 3.89-6.62, P < 0.00001). ECMO treatment and patch repair surgery are robust predictors of feeding tube placement in CDH infants.
