Abstract

Abstract : (Abstracted from N Engl J Med 2021;385:107–118) Congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) occurs in approximately 1 in 4000 births, and 85% of these cases have the defect on the left side. The condition is associated with neonatal death due to respiratory failure and pulmonary hypertension.
