Disease severity impacts perceived quality of life in congenital diaphragmatic hernia: a prospective observational study. Arch Dis Child 2024; 109:510-514. [PMID: 38589198 DOI: 10.1136/archdischild-2024-326906] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/19/2024] [Accepted: 03/21/2024] [Indexed: 04/10/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND While research indicates comparable quality of life (QOL) in congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) and healthy populations, the effect of CDH severity on patients' health perceptions remains unexplored. We aimed to assess QOL perception in CDH, hypothesising a decline correlated with increased disease severity. METHODS In this prospective observational study, we analysed patients with CDH aged 5 years and above participating in a longitudinal outpatient programme. We excluded bilateral CDH, genetic/syndromic conditions, prematurity and late diagnosis. Participants self-administered the age-adapted Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory (PedsQL) survey, covering four domains (physical, emotional, social, school). After enrolment, data were collected blind to severity status (larger defects denoting significant/'severe' disease). Repeated measurements were managed using a random mixed-effects model. RESULTS Of 34 participants (50% males) who completed the PedsQL, 10 provided measurements at two visits. Eight required a patch (type C), while 26 had primary repairs (type A=8; type B=18). Age at first evaluation was comparable across groups (no patch: median 11 (7-16), patch: 13 (8-15) years, p=0.78). Severe CDH correlated significantly with lower PedsQL scores (adjusted β: -18%, 95% CI -28%; -7%, adjusted for age at visit and sex). Lower scores specifically occurred in walking, exercising, social and academic functioning. CONCLUSION Severe CDH significantly lowers QOL. This finding is crucial for resource allocation in long-term CDH health surveillance and advocates for regular inclusion of patient experiences in quality improvement efforts.

Abstract
Neonates with congenital diaphragmatic hernia encounter a number of surgical and medical morbidities that persist into adulthood. As mortality improves for this population, these survivors warrant specialized follow-up for their unique disease-specific morbidities. Multidisciplinary congenital diaphragmatic hernia clinics are best positioned to address these complex long-term morbidities, provide long-term research outcomes, and help inform standardization of best practices in this cohort of patients. This review outlines long-term morbidities experienced by congenital diaphragmatic hernia survivors that can be addressed in a comprehensive follow-up clinic.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) survivors often experience long-term CDH-associated morbidities, including musculoskeletal, gastrointestinal and respiratory issues. This study evaluates parent-reported health-related quality of life (HRQOL) and family impact of the disease. METHODS Electronic medical records (EMR) were reviewed and phone surveys performed with parents of CDH survivors who underwent repair at our institution from 2010 to 2019. They completed the following Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory™ (PedsQL™) questionnaires: Generic Core Scales 4.0 (parent-proxy report) and Family Impact (FI) Module 2.0. Age-matched and gender-matched healthy controls from an existing database were used for comparison. Subgroup analysis of CDH patients alone was also performed. Appropriate statistical analysis was used with p < 0.05 significance. Data are reported as median (range). Ethical approval was obtained. RESULTS Of 76 CDH survivors, 45 parents (59 %) consented for study participation. Patients and controls were aged 6 (3-12) years; 51 % were male. In Core Scales, there were significant differences between the groups in the overall scores (p = 0.003) and the psychosocial health sub-scores (p = 0.004), but no difference in the physical health domain scores. In the Family Impact Module, there were no significant differences between the groups in overall scores, in parent HRQOL and in family functioning sub-scores. However, CDH patients with learning disabilities had significantly worse Family Impact Module overall scores compared to CDH patients without learning disabilities (p = 0.04). CONCLUSION The overall HRQOL in children with CDH survivors is worse compared to controls, but impact on family appears similar. We highlight the need for long-term follow-up of CDH patients, especially those with learning disabilities. Healthcare providers should formulate tailored care plans to address patient and caregiver needs. TYPE OF STUDY Prospective Study. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level III.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Survival of infants with congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) has increased and more insight is warranted on the long-term issues of this condition. METHODS We conducted a cross-sectional study on consecutively born infants with CDH treated at a non-extracorporeal membrane oxygenation centre (ECMO) from 1998 to 2015. Quality of life was evaluated using the Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory Generic Core Scale 4.0 (PedsQL(4.0)) Questionnaire and an interview was conducted to assess for CDH-related morbidity. RESULTS 71 eligible CDH survivors were identified and 51 consented to participate: aged 5-21 years, 28 (54.9%) male, 42 (82.4%) with left-sided hernias, 10 (19.6%) needed patch repair, median length of stay in hospital was 27.96 days (IQR 18.54-61.56). Forty-nine completed the questionnaire with a median PedsQL total score for participants of 82.6 vs 83.7 of the total proxy parent score (p=0.04). Total score was significantly lower for participants aged 5-12 years compared with participants aged 13-21 years (p=0.04); however, when reported by domains, only the physical score remained significantly lower (p=0.048). Two (4.1%) participants' and 8 (16.7%) proxy parents' scores were below 70 and considered at risk of impaired quality of life. We identified the presence of CDH-related morbidity in our population, and confirmed an association between respiratory morbidity and lower PedsQL scores (p=0.04). CONCLUSION We report an overall good quality of life in our population with CDH. However, a lower physical score was noted when compared with a national Danish cohort and individuals at risk of reduced quality of life were recognised. Structured follow-up programmes to identify and ensure early management of CDH-related issues may prevent a negative impact on quality of life.

Abstract
BACKGROUND With improvements in clinical management and an increase in CDH survivorship there is a crucial need for better understanding of long-term health outcomes in CDH. AIM To investigate the prevalence of cardiopulmonary health morbidity and health related quality of life (HRQoL) in CDH survivors. METHODS We included all studies (n = 65) investigating long-term cardiopulmonary outcomes in CDH patients more than 2 years published in the last 30 years. The Newcastle-Ottawa Scale and the CASP checklist for cohort studies were utilized to assess study quality. Results were reported descriptively and collated by age group where possible. RESULTS The incidence of pulmonary hypertension was highly variable (4.5-38%), though rates (%) appeared to diminish after 5 years of age. Lung function indices and radiological outcomes were frequently abnormal, and Health Related Quality of Life (HRQoL) reduced also. Long term diseases notably emphysema and COPD are not yet fully described in the contemporary literature. CONCLUSION This study underscores cardiopulmonary health morbidity and a reduced HRQoL among CDH survivors. Where not already available dedicated multidisciplinary follow-up clinics should be established to support these vulnerable patients transition safely into adulthood. Future research is therefore needed to investigate the risk factors for cardiopulmonary ill health and morbidity in CDH survivors. TYPE OF STUDY Systematic review of case control and cohort studies.

Abstract
PURPOSE With improved long-term survival rates, measuring the quality of surgical care has gradually shifted from clinical morbidity and mortality to patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs). Since the use of PROMs in pediatric surgery is still limited, we undertook a study to identify current PROMs, assess their characteristics, and identify gaps and areas for improvement. METHODS A search was conducted in eight databases from their inception until May 2021 to identify PROMs that have been used in pediatric surgical patients. PRISMA standards were followed, and screening was completed by two independent reviewers. The quality of the included studies was appraised using the AXIS and the Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool. RESULTS Of 8282 studies screened, 101 articles met the inclusion criteria. Most of the studies (99%) were cross-sectional. We identified 85 different PROMs among the studies, 53 being disease-specific and the rest generic. The PedsQL™ was the most frequently used tool (42 studies). Almost half of the instruments (41 studies) were not validated, and 28% were developed ad hoc for each specific study. Significantly, all PROMs encountered were standardized (consisting of pre-determined domains), with no individualized tools currently in use. The overall quality of the included studies was good. CONCLUSIONS PROMs are increasingly used in pediatric surgery. Disease-specific PROMs predominate the field, yet validated and especially individualized PROMs are notably absent. Future efforts are needed to develop robust tools that reflect individual patient and family needs, preferences, and values, with the aim of furthering family-centered pediatric surgical care.

Abstract
PURPOSE To quantify and understand how to assess the quality of life and health-related QoL of parents with children with congenital abnormalities. METHODS We conducted a systematic review with meta-analysis. The search was carried out in 5 bibliographic databases and in ClinicalTrials.gov. No restriction on language or date of publication was applied. This was complemented by references of the studies found and studies of evidence synthesis, manual search of abstracts of relevant congresses/scientific meetings and contact with experts. We included primary studies (observational, quasi-experimental and experimental studies) on parents of children with CA reporting the outcome quality of life (primary outcome) of parents, independently of the intervention/exposure studied. RESULTS We included 75 studies (35 observational non-comparatives, 31 observational comparatives, 4 quasi-experimental and 5 experimental studies). We identified 27 different QoL instruments. The two most frequently used individual QoL instruments were WHOQOL-Bref and SF-36. Relatively to family QoL tools identified, we emphasized PedsQL FIM, IOFS and FQOL. Non-syndromic congenital heart defects were the CA most frequently studied. Through the analysis of comparative studies, we verified that parental and familial QoL were impaired in this population. CONCLUSIONS This review highlights the relevance of assessing QoL in parents with children with CA and explores the diverse QoL assessment tools described in the literature. Additionally, results indicate a knowledge gap that can help to draw new paths to future research. It is essential to assess QoL as a routine in healthcare providing and to implement strategies that improve it.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) is a congenital defect associated with significant mortality and morbidity. We sought to assess the health-related quality of life (HRQoL) for caregivers of infants/children with CDH and determine risk factors for poorer HRQoL. METHODS Families were recruited from a CDH-specific outpatient clinic and HRQoL was assessed by a validated HRQoL instrument (PedsQLTM Family Impact Module) at several time points. Mixed models were used to identify demographic and clinical factors associated with worse HRQoL for caregivers. RESULTS A total of 29 subjects were recruited at a mean age of 2.4 ± 2.3 years. In terms of defect size, 6.9% had a Type A, 37.9% a Type B, 31.0% a Type C, and 24.1% a Type D. The mean HRQoL score at the first encounter was 67.6 ± 18.3; scores are reported from 0 to 100 with higher scores representing the higher reported quality of life. Lower median household incomes (p = .021) and use of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (p = .013) were associated with poorer HRQoL scores. The presence of respiratory symptoms decreased HRQoL for caregivers, including daytime symptoms (p < .001) and nighttime symptoms (p < .001). While emergency department visits were not associated with a decrease in HRQoL, hospital admissions (p = .002), and reoperations for CDH (p < .001) were. CONCLUSION Our study found a reduced quality of life associated with socioeconomic factors and severity of ongoing disease. Further study is needed to confirm these findings and identify strategies for aiding families cope with the chronicity of this congenital disease.

Abstract
AIM To assess quality of life (QoL) in children with congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) and to compare it with oesophageal atresia (OA). METHODS A cross-sectional study in CDH children (≥7 years) was conducted in Lille University Hospital, France, from January 2013 to April 2014. History, lung function (rest, exercise) and Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory questionnaires (PedsQoL 4.0) were collected. Data of OA children were previously published. RESULTS Fifty-four CDH patients (male: 53%, median age: 11 years, IQR 9-14) were compared to 54 OA patients (male: 61%, median age: 13 years, IQR: 11-15). CDH children had significantly more frequent history of pneumonia (30% vs 13%), exercise limitation (54% vs 35%) and chest deformity (39% vs 11%); 46% had an obstructive pattern and 66% an abnormal cardiopulmonary exercise test. The median PedsQoL total score in children was 81 (IQR 73-90) in CDH and 81 (IQR 72-91) in OA (P = .8). In CDH, duration of neonatal oxygen therapy, hospitalisation for respiratory disease, exercise limitation, inhaled corticosteroids treatment, chest deformity, abnormal cardiopulmonary exercise test and lower forced expiratory volume in one second were significantly associated with lower QoL scores. CONCLUSION PedsQoL scores remained satisfactory in CDH children with CDH, with no difference compared to OA. Patients with respiratory morbidity and lung function impairment, who displayed lower scores, should be identified in order to optimise their management in reference centres.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate neurodevelopmental impairment (NDI) in children born with congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH). METHODS Using a defined search strategy, a systematic review was conducted to define the incidence and types of NDI, to report abnormal neuroimaging findings and to evaluate possible NDI predictors. A meta-analysis was performed on comparative studies reporting risk factors for NDI, using RevMan 5.3. RESULTS Of 3541 CDH children (33 studies), 829 (23%) had NDI, with a higher incidence in CDH survivors who received ECMO treatment (49%) vs. those who had no ECMO (22%; p<0.00001). NDI included neuromuscular hypotonia (42%), hearing (13%) and visual (8%) impairment, neurobehavioral issues (20%), and learning difficulties (31%). Of 288 survivors that had postnatal neuroimaging, 49% had abnormal findings. The main risk factors for NDI were severe pulmonary hypoplasia, large defect size, ECMO use. CONCLUSIONS NDI is a relevant problem for CDH survivors, affecting 1 in 4. The spectrum of NDI covers all developmental domains and ranges from motor and sensory (hearing, visual) deficits to cognitive, language, and behavioral impairment. Further studies should be designed to better understand the pathophysiology of NDI in CDH children and to longitudinally monitor infants born with CDH to correct risk factors that can be modifiable.

However, the link between imaging and outcome has not been described. We aimed to determine whether routine postoperative neonatal neuroimaging in infants with CDH detects later neurodevelopmental impairment. Methods In a prospective cohort study within a clinical service in The Royal Children's Hospital Newborn Intensive Care. Cerebral ultrasound was performed in 81 children and MRI in 57 children who subsequently underwent neurodevelopmental follow-up after surgery for CDH. MRI scans were analyzed using a scoring system designed to identify injury, maturation and volume loss. Neurodevelopmental assessment occurred at 2 years (48) and neurocognitive assessment at 5 years (26) and/or 8 years (27). Brain imaging scores corrected for gestational age at scan time were correlated with outcome measures, adjusting for known clinical confounders. Results Clinically significant findings were identified on MRI of 16 (28%) infants. Mean scores were in the normal range for all domains assessed at each age. Language impairment was seen in 23% at 2 years and verbal intellectual impairment in 25% at 8 years. Mean cognitive scores were lower in 2-year-old children with white matter injury on MRI (p=0.03). Mean motor scores were lower in 2-year-old children with brain immaturity (p=0.01). Associations between MRI and 5-year and 8-year assessments were no longer significant when adjusting for known clinical confounders. Conclusions Neuroimaging abnormalities were associated with worse neurodevelopment at 2 years, but not with later neurocognitive outcomes, after accounting for clinical risk factors.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Survival rates for congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) are increasing. The long-term outcomes of CDH survivors were compared with a healthy control group to assess the morbidity for guidance of antenatal counselling and long-term follow-up programmes. PARTICIPANTS AND DESIGN Participants born with CDH in Western Australia 1993-2008 were eligible with matched controls from the general population. Participants had comprehensive lung function tests, echocardiogram, low-dose chest CT scan and completed a Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ) and quality of life (QOL) questionnaire. RESULTS 34 matched case-control pairs were recruited. Demographic data between groups were similar. Cases were smaller at follow-up (weight Z-score of -0.2vs0.3; p=0.03; height Z-score of -0.3vs0.6; p=0.01). Cases had lower mean Z-scores for forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV1) (-1.49 vs -0.01; p=0.004), FEV1/forced vital capacity (-1.92 vs -1.2; p=0.009) and forced expiratory flow at 25-75% (FEF25-75) (-1.18vs0.23; p=0.007). Cases had significantly worse respiratory mechanics using forced oscillation technique. Subpleural triangles architectural distortion, linear opacities and scoliosis on chest CT were significantly higher in cases. Prosthetic patch requirement was associated with worse lung mechanics and peak cough flow. Cases had significantly higher rates of gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GORD) and GORD medication usage. Developmental delay was significantly higher in cases. More cases had a total difficulties score in the high to very high range (25% vs 0%, p=0.03) on the SDQ and reported lower objective QOL scores (70.2 vs 79.8, p=0.02). CONCLUSION Survivors of CDH may have significant adverse long-term medical and psychosocial issues that would be better recognised and managed in a multidisciplinary clinic.

Abstract
PURPOSE The aim of this study was to determine long-term outcomes for congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) patients including quality of life (QoL), symptom burden, reoperation rates, and health status. METHODS A chart review and phone QoL survey were performed for patients who underwent CDH repair between 2007 and 2014 at a tertiary free-standing children's hospital. Comprehensive outcomes were collected including subsequent operations and health status. Associations with QoL were tested using Wilcoxon Rank-Sum tests and Pearson correlation coefficients. RESULTS Of 102 CDH patients identified, 46 (45.1%) patient guardians agreed to participate with mean patient age of 5.8 (SD, 2.2) years at time of follow-up. Median PedsQLTM and PedsQLTM Gastrointestinal scores were 91.8 (IQR, 84.8-95.8) and 95.8 (IQR, 93.0-98.2), out of 100. Thoracoscopic repair was associated with higher PedsQLTM scores while defects with an intrathoracic stomach were associated with increased gas and bloating. No difference in QoL was found when comparing defect side, patch vs primary repair, prenatal diagnosis, extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, or recurrence. Older age weakly correlated with worse school functioning and heartburn. CONCLUSION Children with CDH have reassuring QoL scores. Given the correlation between older age and poor school function, longer follow-up of patients with CDH may be warranted. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE III (Retrospective comparative study).

Abstract
PURPOSE Congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) survivors experience increased risk of medical and neurodevelopmental challenges. This study describes the health-related quality of life (HRQOL), special education utilization and the family impact among neonatal CDH survivors. METHODS A single-center prospective cohort of CDH survivors born between 1995 and 2006 was followed. Parents completed the PedsQL HRQOL index and a Family Impact survey to assess the need for medical equipment, home health services, and special education and quantify the burden placed on the family by their child's medical needs. RESULTS Parents of 32 survivors participated at a mean survivor age of 8 ± 4 years. Many survivors utilized medical equipment (62%), home health services (18%) and special education (28%). CDH survivor HRQOL (79 ± 17) did not differ significantly from that of healthy children (83 ± 15, p = 0.12). HRQOL was diminished among survivors who required special education (67 ± 8 vs 82 ± 3; p = 0.04) and those reporting increased Family Impact score (p = 0.001). CONCLUSION Many CDH survivors continue to require home medical equipment and home health services at school age. Most survivors have normal parent-reported HRQOL; however, the need for special education and higher family impact of neonatal CDH correlates with decreased HRQOL.

Abstract
Treatment modalities for neonates born with congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) have greatly improved in recent times with a concomitant increase in survival. In 2008, CDH EURO consortium, a collaboration of a large volume of CDH centers in Western Europe, was established with a goal to standardize management and facilitate multicenter research. However, limited knowledge on long-term outcomes restricts the identification of optimal care pathways for CDH survivors in adolescence and adulthood. This review aimed to evaluate the current practice of long-term follow-up within the CDH EURO consortium centers, and to review the literature on long-term outcomes published from 2000 onward. Apart from having disease-specific morbidities, children with CDH are at risk for impaired neurodevelopmental problems and failure of educational attainments which may affect participation in society and the quality of life in later years. Thus, there is every reason to offer them long-term multidisciplinary follow-up programs. We discuss a proposed collaborative project using standardized clinical assessment and management plan (SCAMP) methodology to obtain uniform and standardized follow-up of CDH patients at an international level.

Abstract
PURPOSE The aim of this study was to examine health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in children born with congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH). METHODS Between 1993 and 2003, a total of 102 children born with CDH were treated at Astrid Lindgren Children's hospital in Stockholm. In 2012, long-term survivors (n = 77) were asked to participate in the present study, which resulted in a 46% (n = 35) response rate. The KIDSCREEN-52 questionnaire was used for measuring HRQoL and a detailed review of medical records was performed. RESULTS The study participants did not differ from the non-participants in terms of prenatal diagnosis, gender, side of lesion, method of surgical repair, time to intubation, need for ECMO support, or way of discharge from the hospital. Children born with CDH considered themselves to have a good HRQoL, as good as healthy Swedish children. There were only a few significant HRQoL differences within the group of children with CDH, although several median scores in ECMO-treated patients were somewhat lower. Correlations between child and parent scores on HRQoL were low. CONCLUSIONS Health-related quality of life in children born with CDH is good overall, however, a correlation between the severity of the malformation and HRQoL cannot be excluded.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients with congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) have a high residual morbidity rate. We compared self-reported health-related quality of life (HRQoL) between patients with CDH and healthy children. METHODS Forty-five patients with CDH who were born from January 1, 1990, through February 15, 2015, were matched to healthy, age-matched control participants at a 1:2 ratio. The health records of the study participants were reviewed to determine comorbid conditions, and HRQoL was assessed by both the participants and their parents with the Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory (PedsQL). The HRQoL scores of the patients with CDH and the control participants were compared by using analysis of variance to adjust for age group and sex. Among patients with CDH, analysis of variance was used to compare HRQoL scores across groups defined according to their characteristics at initial hospitalization, postdischarge events, and comorbid conditions. RESULTS Compared with control participants, patients with CDH had lower mean PedsQL scores, as reported by the parent and child, for the physical and psychosocial domains (P < 0.001). Risk factors associated with lower parent-reported HRQoL included bronchopulmonary dysplasia, longer initial hospitalization, severe cognitive impairment, and orthopedic symptoms; among patients with CDH, low HRQoL was associated with chronic respiratory issues. CONCLUSION Patients with CDH had lower HRQoL compared with healthy participants. Parent-reported HRQoL tended to be higher than child-reported HRQoL. Results were also inconsistent for the risk factors associated with HRQoL obtained by using child- and parent-reported scores. Therefore, when interpreting HRQoL in CDH survivors, a proxy report should not be considered a substitute for a child's self-report.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the status of congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) management in France and to assess predictors of adverse outcomes. STUDY DESIGN We reviewed the first-year outcome of all cases of CDH reported to the French National Register in 2011. RESULTS A total of 158 cases were included. Of these, 83% (131) were prenatally diagnosed, with a mortality rate of 39% (44 of 112) for live born infants with a known outcome at hospital discharge. Mortality increased to 47% (60 of 128) including those with termination of pregnancy and fetal loss. This contrasts with the 7% (2 of 27) mortality rate of the patients diagnosed postnatally (P = .002). Mortality worsened with 1 prenatal marker of CDH severity (OR 3.38 [1.30-8.83] P = .013) and worsened further with 2 markers (OR 20.64 [5.29-80.62] P < .001). Classic postnatal risk factors of mortality such as side of hernia (nonleft P = .001), prematurity (P < .001), low birth weight (P = .002), and size of the defect (P < .001) were confirmed. Of the 141 live births (114 prenatal and 27 postnatal diagnosis) with known outcomes, 93 (67%) survived to hospital discharge, 68 (60%) with a prenatal diagnosis and 25 (93%) with a postnatal diagnosis. The median time to hospital discharge was 34 days (IQR, 19.25-62). Of these survivors, 71 (76%) were followed up for 1 year. CONCLUSIONS Despite advances in management of CDH, mortality was high and associated with prenatal risk factors. Postnatally, severe persistent pulmonary hypertension was difficult to predict and presented persistent challenges in management.

Abstract
Congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) survivors present long-term morbidities in several systems, including the neurodevelopmental, gastrointestinal, pulmonary, and musculoskeletal ones, and CDH long-term sequelae are increasingly being recognized. Due to high co-morbidity, health related quality of life in a significant proportion of CDH patients might be compromised. As a consequence of consciousness on the long-term sequelae of CDH survivors, and their consequences for life, several follow-up programs were brought to life worldwide. In this review, we will summarize the long-term sequelae of CDH survivors, the impact of new treatments, and analyze the consistency of follow-up programs.

Abstract
Increased survival of patients with congenital diaphragmatic hernia has created a unique cohort of children, adolescent, and adult survivors with complex medical and surgical needs. Disease-specific morbidities offer the opportunity for multiple disciplines to unite together to provide long-term comprehensive follow-up, as well as an opportunity for research regarding late outcomes. These children can exhibit impaired pulmonary function, altered neurodevelopmental outcomes, nutritional insufficiency, musculoskeletal changes, and specialized surgical needs that benefit from regular monitoring and intervention, particularly in patients with increased disease severity. Below we aim to characterize the specific challenges that these survivors face as well as present an algorithm for a multidisciplinary long-term follow-up program.

Abstract
Congenital diaphragmatic hernia is an uncommon congenital anomaly of the diaphragm with pulmonary hypoplasia and persistent pulmonary hypertension as serious consequences. Despite recent advances in therapy, congenital diaphragmatic hernia remains a challenging condition. Best treatment strategies are still largely unknown, and practice strategies vary widely among different centres. Additionally, as congenital diaphragmatic hernia is a relatively uncommon condition, it is difficult to recruit sufficient numbers of patients for clinical trials. In recent years, survival rates of congenital diaphragmatic hernia patients appear to have increased. With the progressively improved survival rates, the long-term prognosis and quality of life of patients have become an increasingly important issue. Survivors have been shown to be at risk for many long-term morbidities, which highlights the importance of long-term follow-up of these children. The aim of this review is to give an overview of the current knowledge regarding congenital diaphragmatic hernia.
