In parallel, databases on rare diseases are a national priority but remain difficult to implement and maintain. We aimed to assess the validity of PMSI data to identify patients with congenital rare diseases, using congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) as an example. We also aimed to explore the national epidemiological estimates provided by PMSI.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>Using PMSI, we identified CDH patients treated in the neonatal intensive care units (NICU) of two French referral centers between 2010 and 2018 based on ICD-10 diagnostic codes. These centers have maintained a prospective database of CDH patients (CDHdb) for over 10 years. We compared PMSI data with CDHdb to assess the accuracy of PMSI in detecting CDH cases.

The sensitivity and specificity of PMSI were estimated at 100 % (98.5 %; 100 %) and 99.9 % (99.9 %; 100 %), respectively. At the national level, 1680 cases were identified, corresponding to an incidence of 2.33 per 10,000 live births, a male-to-female ratio of 1.40, and a 1-year mortality rate of 30.5 % (28.2 %; 32.9 %).</p><p><strong>Discussion: </strong>PMSI appears to be a valid source for identifying CDH patients at birth, with national epidemiological estimates consistent with the literature.
