Abstract
BACKGROUND We compared early neurodevelopmental morbidity in young children with severe CDH who underwent FETO to those without fetal therapy. METHODS We conducted a prospective study of severe CDH patients undergoing FETO (n = 18) at a single North American center from 2015 to 2021 (NCT02710968). Outpatient survivors (n = 12) were evaluated by a multidisciplinary team and compared to expectantly managed CDH patients. Neurodevelopmental outcomes were assessed using the Capute Scales [Clinical Linguistic and Auditory Milestone Scales (CLAMS) and Cognitive Adaptive Test (CAT)], with a developmental quotient (DQ) < 85 indicative of at-risk for delay. RESULTS At one year, 58% (n = 7) of FETO patients underwent evaluation, with notable concern for language delay (CLAMS median DQ, 80.1 [interquartile range, 67.6-86.7]). FETO scores improved by 24-months, whereas high severity/non-FETO scores declined [CLAMS median DQ (Difference in DQ), 92.3 (+12.2) vs. 77.1 (-13.4), respectively; p = 0.049]. On the initial CAT, FETO patients had concern for visual motor and problem-solving delays, with a median DQ of 81.3 (62.1-89.4). At 24-months, FETO patients had improving scores [Median CAT DQ, 90.8 (+9.5)], whereas high severity/non-FETO [87.5 (-3.0), p = 0.28] had declining scores. CONCLUSION These initial data suggest that FETO is associated with favorable neurodevelopmental outcomes at 24-months compared to severe CDH under expectant management. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE III.

Abstract
Long-term outcomes of persistent pulmonary hypertension of newborn (PPHN) depend on disease severity, duration of ventilation, and associated anomalies. Congenital diaphragmatic hernia survivors may have respiratory morbidities and developmental delay. The presence of PPHN is associated with increased mortality in hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy, though the effects on neurodevelopment are less clear. Preterm infants can develop pulmonary hypertension (PH) early in the postnatal course or later in the setting of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD). BPD-PH is associated with higher mortality, particularly within the first year. Evidence suggests that both early and late PH in preterm infants are associated with neurodevelopmental impairment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) has been widely used in severe neonatal diseases for approximately 50 years, while few studies have concentrated on the long-term follow-up of its neuropsychological development. OBJECTIVE To assess the long-term neuropsychological complications in children who underwent ECMO in infancy. METHODS The PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane, and EMBASE databases were searched for retrieving studies published in the recent 10 years (until June 10, 2022). All studies were eligible that concentrated on the long-term follow-up of neuropsychological complications in neonates undergoing ECMO. Excluding animal studies, neonates with congenital craniocerebral dysplasia and studies with data from the same center performed at different times. Statistical analysis was performed using RevMan 5.3 and Stata/SE 12.0 software. A random-effects model was used to report results. The sensitivity analysis was utilized to identify sources of heterogeneity. RESULTS The meta-analysis of 10 studies that enrolled 1199 patients was conducted, showing the pooled morbidity of intelligence (pooled morbidity: 20.3%, 95% CI: 0.16-0.25, I2: 9.5%, P=0.33), motor activity (pooled morbidity: 10.3%, 95%CI: 0.07-0.14, I2: 43.5%, P=0.15), learning (pooled morbidity: 9.0%, 95%CI: -0.03-0.21, I2: 63.2%, P=0.10), hearing (pooled morbidity: 15.7%, 95%CI: 0.02-0.29, I2: 94.2%, P=0.00), vision (pooled morbidity: 18.5%, 95%CI: 0.12-0.25, I2: 0%, P=0.46), cognition (pooled morbidity: 26.3%, 95%CI: 0.19-0.34, I2: 0%, P=0.32), attention (pooled morbidity: 7.4%, 95%CI: 0.02-0.13, I2: 38.9%, P=0.20), speed in attention (pooled morbidity: 69.9%, 95%CI: 0.62-0.78), and accuracy in attention (pooled morbidity: 39.0%, 95%CI: 0.30-0.48) in neonates undergoing ECMO. The results of the Begg's test and sensitivity analysis indicated that the heterogeneity was originated from factors other than sample size. CONCLUSION This systematic review and meta-analysis showed that neonates undergoing ECMO were associated with various neuropsychological complications. Additional randomized controlled trials (RCTs) with a larger sample size and a higher quality are needed.

Abstract
Introduction Congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) remains a cause of neonatal death. Our aims are to describe contemporary rates of survival and the variables associated with this outcome, contrasting these with our study of two decades earlier and recent reports. Materials and methods A retrospective review of all infants diagnosed in a regional center between January 2000 and December 2020 was performed. The outcome of interest was survival. Possible explanatory variables included side of defect, use of complex ventilatory or hemodynamic strategies (inhaled nitric oxide (iNO), high-frequency oscillatory ventilation (HFOV), extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), and Prostin), presence of antenatal diagnosis, associated anomalies, birth weight, and gestation. Temporal changes were studied by measuring outcomes in each of four consecutive 63-month periods. Results A total of 225 cases were diagnosed. Survival was 60% (134 of 225). Postnatal survival was 68% (134 of 198 liveborn), and postrepair survival was 84% (134 of 159 who survived to repair). Diagnosis was made antenatally in 66% of cases. Variables associated with mortality were the need for complex ventilatory strategies (iNO, HFOV, Prostin, and ECMO), antenatal diagnosis, right-sided defects, use of patch repair, associated anomalies, birth weight, and gestation. Survival has improved from our report of a prior decade and did not vary during the study period. Postnatal survival has improved despite fewer terminations. On multivariate analysis, the need for complex ventilation was the strongest predictor of death (OR=50, 95% CI 13 to 224, p<0.0001), and associated anomalies ceased to be predictive. Conclusions Survival has improved from our earlier report, despite reduced numbers of terminations. This may be related to increased use of complex ventilatory strategies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To compare academic proficiency among children with congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) versus controls and identify predictors of academic performance among children with CDH. METHODS Infants born with CDH in Arkansas, 2000-2005, were identified from the Arkansas Reproductive Health Monitoring System. For each case, two controls were selected from birth certificate data and matched for hospital and month of birth, sex, and race/ethnicity. Data on re-hospitalization within the first 5 years and payer data were collected from the Arkansas Hospital Inpatient Discharge database. Surviving cases and controls were linked to the Arkansas Department of Education database. Primary outcomes were odds of proficiency on fourth grade literacy and mathematics achievement tests. Multivariable logistic regression models evaluated the association between study characteristics and academic proficiency. RESULTS The final study cohort included 25 surviving CDH cases and 31 controls who were linked to their education data. After adjusting for differences in characteristics (5-min Apgar score and associated congenital anomalies) between cases and controls, there were no statistically significant differences in literacy (72% vs. 84%, p = .93) or mathematics (64% vs. 81%, p = .98) test proficiency between the two groups. In multivariable analyses, among CDH cases, oxygen at discharge and Medicaid payer/longer hospital stay were associated with worse fourth grade literacy and mathematics proficiency, respectively. CONCLUSIONS Oxygen at discharge, Medicaid payer, and longer hospital stay were associated with lower academic performance among CDH cases.

Abstract
AIM To describe the neurodevelopmental outcomes following extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) in early infancy. METHODS Thirty-seven patients who had survived following ECMO support from 2008 to 2018 had their neurodevelopmental outcomes assessed and analysed using the Bayley Scales of Infant and Toddler Development. Developmental outcome was defined as impairment in any of the developmental domains of motor function, cognition and language with mild impairment being 1-2 standard deviations below the test mean, moderate being 2-3 standard deviations below and severe being greater than 3 standard deviations below. RESULTS Of these 37 patients, the median age at admission to Paediatric Intensive Care Unit was 0.4 months (interquartile range 2.8 months) with all of the study patients having an underlying diagnosis of congenital cardiac disease and 37/40 (92.5%) ECMO runs occurring in the immediate post-operative period. Of the 29 patients who had had follow-up at 12 months of age or older, 3 (10.3%) had severe impairment, 4 (13.8%) had moderate impairment, 12 (41.3%) had mild impairment and 10 (34.5%) had no impairment. Gross motor function was most significantly impacted in 18/29 (62.1%) patients, of which 7/18 (38.9%) had severe impairment. This was followed by impairment of receptive language in 8/29 (27.6%) patients and expressive language in 6/29 (20.1%) patients. CONCLUSIONS One in four infants undergoing ECMO treatment in early infancy has moderate to severe neurodevelopmental impairment. Gross motor and language are the most affected developmental domains.

Abstract
Neonatal myocardial infarction due to coronary thrombus is a rare cause of acute heart failure and is associated with high morbidity and mortality. We present a rare case of a full-term newborn who developed coronary artery thrombus treated with intracoronary recombinant tissue plasminogen activator infusion while undergoing therapeutic hypothermia. Also, we describe a unique treatment strategy to support systemic circulation sparing the patient from neonatal extracorporeal membrane oxygenation and its complications. Neonatal myocardial infarction should be suspected and ruled out in sick newborns.
