Abstract
Congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) is a rare developmental defect of the diaphragm, characterized by the herniation of abdominal contents into the chest, resulting in varying degrees of pulmonary hypoplasia and pulmonary hypertension. Significant advances in the prenatal diagnosis and identification of prognostic factors have resulted in the continued refinement of the approach to fetal therapies for CDH. In the postnatal period, protocolized approaches to lung-protective ventilation, nutrition, prevention of infection, and early aggressive management of pulmonary hypertension have led to improved outcomes in infants with CDH. Surgical repair of CDH is not urgent in most circumstances and can be delayed until the pulmonary status of the patient has stabilized. This article provides a comprehensive review of CDH, focusing on the complex pathophysiology, advances in prenatal diagnosis, fetal interventions, and optimal postnatal management of CDH.

J Surg Res 2023; 282:168-173. [PMID: 36306587 PMCID: PMC11132729 DOI: 10.1016/j.jss.2022.09.002] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/01/2022] [Revised: 08/15/2022] [Accepted: 09/07/2022] [Indexed: 11/06/2022]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Congenital diaphragmatic hernia is associated with pulmonary hypoplasia, pulmonary hypertension, and significant neonatal morbidity. Although intrathoracic liver herniation (LH) >20% is associated with adverse outcomes, the relationship between LH <20% and outcomes is poorly characterized. METHODS A single-center retrospective cohort study was performed from 2011 to 2020 of 80 fetuses with left-sided congenital diaphragmatic hernia that were delivered and repaired at our institution. Perinatal, perioperative, and postoperative data were collected. We evaluated the association of %LH with outcomes as a stratified ordinal variable (0%-10% LH, 10%-19% LH, and >20% LH) and as a continuous variable. Data were analyzed by analysis of variance with Bonferroni post hoc analysis, chi-square analyses, and univariate logistic regression. RESULTS Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) (P < 0.001), repair on ECMO (P = 0.002), repair with patch (P < 0.001), length of stay (P = 0.002), inhaled nitric oxide use (P < 0.001), and sildenafil use at discharge (P < 0.001), showed significant differences among LH groups. There were no differences among the groups concerning survival (at discharge, 6 mo, and 1 y) and tracheostomy. On further analysis there was no difference between 10% and 19% LH and ≥20% LH patients concerning ECMO (P = 0.55), repair on ECMO (P = 0.54), repair with patch (P = 1.00), length of stay (P = 1.00), and inhaled nitric oxide use (P = 0.33). Logistic regression analysis displayed a significant association with LH and ECMO, repair on ECMO, repair with patch, inhaled nitric oxide use, and sildenafil use. CONCLUSIONS Our analysis displays no significant difference in perinatal management between patients with 10%-19% and ≥20% LH. These findings suggest that the historical cutoff of ≥20% LH may not be sufficient alone to guide perinatal counseling and decision-making.

Prenatal stomach position and volume in relation to postnatal outcomes in left-sided congenital diaphragmatic hernia. Prenat Diagn 2021; 42:338-347. [PMID: 34292626 PMCID: PMC9290604 DOI: 10.1002/pd.6019] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/15/2021] [Revised: 07/07/2021] [Accepted: 07/11/2021] [Indexed: 12/04/2022]
Abstract
Objective To examine the association between prenatal stomach position (SP) grade and stomach volume (SV) and the need for pulmonary hypertension (PH) treatment after birth in prenatally diagnosed left‐sided congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH), live born >34 weeks. Methods In retrospect, SP grade and SV were determined in fetuses with isolated left‐sided CDH from 19 weeks gestational age (GA) onwards at three different time periods (≤24 weeks' GA: US1, 24–30 weeks' GA: US2; ≥30 weeks' GA: US3). Primary outcome was need for treatment of PH after birth. Secondary analyses included the predictive value of SP and SV for other respiratory outcomes and postnatal defect size. Results A total of 101 fetuses were included. SP grade was significantly associated with need for treatment of PH (US1, US2, and US3: p < 0.02). Also, prenatal SP grade was positively associated with defect size and development of chronic lung disease (CLD) in survivors. No association was found between SV and respiratory morbidities or postnatal defect size. Conclusion SP grade in left‐sided CDH fetuses is associated with an increased need for PH treatment, a larger postnatal defect size and CLD in survivors. We consider SP determination a valuable contribution to the prenatal assessment of left‐sided CDH.
What is already known about this topic?
Prenatal stomach position (SP) grade has been proposed as a predictive ultrasound parameter for postnatal survival, patch repair, need for extracorporeal membrane oxygenation and need for prolonged respiratory support in left‐sided congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH).
What does this study add?
In children with left‐sided CDH, prenatal SP grade is associated with an increase in need for treatment of pulmonary hypertension and development of chronic lung disease, with the greatest increase in SP Grade 2 and 4. A higher prenatal SP grade is associated with a larger postnatal defect size. In the majority of cases SP grade does not vary throughout gestation.

Prenatal stomach position predicts gastrointestinal morbidity at 2 years in fetuses with left-sided congenital diaphragmatic hernia. ULTRASOUND IN OBSTETRICS & GYNECOLOGY : THE OFFICIAL JOURNAL OF THE INTERNATIONAL SOCIETY OF ULTRASOUND IN OBSTETRICS AND GYNECOLOGY 2021; 57:959-967.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The long-term morbidity associated with isolated left-sided congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) has been described previously. However, antenatal criteria impacting gastrointestinal morbidity (GIM) are not yet defined. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of fetal stomach position on the risk of GIM at 2 years of age in children with left-sided CDH. METHODS This was a retrospective, observational multicenter cohort study of data obtained from January 2010 to January 2014, that included patients whose fetus had isolated left-sided CDH, with or without fetal endoscopic tracheal occlusion (FETO). Prenatal maternal, fetal and pediatric data were collected. Fetal stomach position was evaluated a posteriori by two observers, using ultrasound images at the level of the four-chamber view of the heart that had been obtained to calculate the observed-to-expected lung-area-to-head-circumference ratio (O/E-LHR). Fetal stomach position was graded as follows: Grade 1, stomach not visualized; Grade 2, stomach visualized anteriorly, next to the apex of the heart, with no structure in between the stomach and the sternum; Grade 3, stomach visualized alongside the left ventricle of the heart, and abdominal structures anteriorly; or Grade 4, as Grade 3 but with stomach posterior to the level of the atrioventricular heart valves. The primary outcome was GIM at 2 years of age, assessed in a composite manner, including the occurrence of gastroesophageal reflux disease, need for gastrostomy, duration of parenteral and enteral nutrition and persistence of oral aversion. Regression analysis was performed in order to investigate the effect of O/E-LHR, stomach position and FETO on various GIM outcome variables. RESULTS Forty-seven patients with fetal left-sided CDH were included in the analysis. Thirteen (27.7%) infants did not meet the criterion of exclusive oral feeding at 2 years of age. Fetal stomach position grade was associated significantly and independently with the duration of parenteral nutrition (odds ratio (OR), 19.86; P = 0.031) and persistence of oral aversion at 2 years (OR, 3.40; P = 0.006). On multivariate analysis, O/E-LHR was predictive of the need for prosthetic patch repair, but not for GIM. FETO did not seem to affect the risk of GIM at 2 years. CONCLUSION In isolated left-sided CDH, fetal stomach position is the only factor that is predictive of GIM at 2 years of age. © 2020 International Society of Ultrasound in Obstetrics and Gynecology.

Abstract
Fetal intervention has progressed in the past two decades from experimental proof-of-concept to practice-adopted, life saving interventions in human fetuses with congenital anomalies. This progress is informed by advances in innovative research, prenatal diagnosis, and fetal surgical techniques. Invasive open hysterotomy, associated with notable maternal-fetal risks, is steadily replaced by less invasive fetoscopic alternatives. A better understanding of the natural history and pathophysiology of congenital diseases has advanced the prenatal regenerative paradigm. By altering the natural course of disease through regrowth or redevelopment of malformed fetal organs, prenatal regenerative medicine has transformed maternal-fetal care. This review discusses the uses of regenerative medicine in the prenatal diagnosis and management of three congenital diseases: congenital diaphragmatic hernia, lower urinary tract obstruction, and spina bifida.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The objective of this study was to assess whether the laterality of congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) was a prognostic factor for neonatal survival. METHODS This was a cohort study using the French national database of the Reference Center for Diaphragmatic Hernias. The principal endpoint was survival after hospitalization in intensive care. We made a comparative study between right CDH and left CDH by univariate and multivariate analysis. Terminations and stillbirths were excluded from analyses of neonatal outcomes. RESULTS A total of 506 CDH were included with 67 (13%) right CDH and 439 left CDH (87%). Rate of survival was 49% for right CDH and 74% for left CDH (P < .01). Multivariate analysis showed two factors significantly associated with mortality: thoracic herniation of liver (OR 2.27; IC 95% [1.07-4.76]; P = .03) and lung-to-head-ratio over under expected (OR 2.99; IC 95% [1.41-6.36]; P < .01). Side of CDH was not significantly associated with mortality (OR 1.87; IC 95% [0.61-5.51], P = .26). CONCLUSION Rate of right CDH mortality is more important than left CDH. Nevertheless after adjusting for lung-to-head-ratio and thoracic herniation of liver, right CDH does not have a higher risk of mortality than left CDH.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to use current national data to evaluate the characteristics and survival trends of preterm infants born with CDH from 2004 to 2014. STUDY DESIGN Data was queried from the National Inpatient Sample (NIS) and KID database from 2004 to 2014. Infants were included if diagnosed with CDH by ICD-9 coding and gestational age <37 weeks. Descriptive statistics, chi-square, and trend analysis were completed. RESULTS We identified 2356 infants born prematurely with CDH. The overall survival rate was 49%. The survival range is 21.2-62.3% for gestational age <26 weeks to 35-36 weeks, respectively. Total mortality was 1183; of them, 1052 (89%) were not repaired and 363 (30.7%) did not receive mechanical ventilation. Surgical repair occurred in 55.1% of infants. CONCLUSIONS Preterm infants have lower survival compared with term infants. Survival rates decrease with lower gestational age and have improved over time.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to investigate the reproducibility of a standardized method to assess the ultrasound liver-to-thoracic area ratio in fetuses with congenital diaphragmatic hernia. METHODS We selected 24 images of 9 fetuses diagnosed with left-sided at our institution between January 2010 and December 2017. Eight operators (1 maternal-fetal medicine specialist and 7 sonographers) reviewed the selected images and assessed the ultrasound liver-to-thoracic area ratio according to a standardized protocol. We evaluated the correlation between operators using the intraclass correlation coefficient and compared agreement between the sonographers and a physician with experience in measuring the ultrasound liver-to-thoracic area ratio using a Bland-Altman analysis. RESULTS Good intraoperator reproducibility was observed for the standardized ultrasound liver-to-thoracic area ratio (intraclass correlation coefficient, 0.78). Good agreement among sonographers and the physician was also observed for the standardized measurements (bias, 0.01; precision, 0.03; limits of agreement, -0.05 to + 0.07). CONCLUSIONS We demonstrated that good intraoperator and interoperator reproducibility of ultrasound liver-to-thoracic area ratio assessment is feasible after standardizing the method in our center.

Secondary Imaging Findings Aid in Prenatal Diagnosis and Characterization of Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia: Role of an Abnormal Orientation of Vascular Structures and Gallbladder Position. JOURNAL OF ULTRASOUND IN MEDICINE : OFFICIAL JOURNAL OF THE AMERICAN INSTITUTE OF ULTRASOUND IN MEDICINE 2019; 38:1449-1456. [PMID: 30244484 DOI: 10.1002/jum.14823] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/01/2018] [Accepted: 08/23/2018] [Indexed: 06/08/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES To determine whether an abnormal orientation of the abdominal or hepatic vasculature and an abnormal gallbladder position on prenatal ultrasound (US) imaging are associated with intrathoracic liver herniation and postnatal outcomes in cases of congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH). METHODS Children who underwent prenatal US examinations and postnatal CDH repair at our institution were eligible. Prenatal US images were reviewed, and the orientation of the superior mesenteric artery (SMA) and hepatic veins as well as gallbladder position were recorded. Findings were correlated with prenatal US measurements (lung-to-head ratio and calculated observed-to-expected lung-to-head ratio) and postnatal outcomes, including intrathoracic liver herniation, an extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) requirement, and mortality. RESULTS A total of 175 patients met inclusion criteria. The SMA was shown in 168 cases and had a cephalad orientation in 95.4% (161 of 168), which was not associated with outcome measures and represented bowel herniation. A cephalad orientation of the hepatic veins was identified in 52.6% (90 of 171) and was associated with intrathoracic liver herniation, an ECMO requirement, and mortality (P < .01). In right-sided CDH, the gallbladder was intrathoracic in 91.3% (21 of 23). In left-sided CDH, an abnormal gallbladder position was seen in 51.3% (76/152) and was associated with intrathoracic liver herniation, an ECMO requirement, mortality, and lower lung-to-head ratio and observed-to-expected lung-to-head ratio values. When combined, abnormal hepatic vein and gallbladder positions showed good sensitivity and specificity in predicting intrathoracic liver herniation (area under the curve, 0.93). CONCLUSIONS Abnormal SMA, hepatic vein, and gallbladder positions can be used to improve prenatal characterization of CDH. Accurate depiction of these structures on prenatal US images may aid in patient counseling and postnatal management.

Abstract
Congenital diaphragmatic hernia is characterized by failed closure of the diaphragm, thereby allowing abdominal viscera to herniate into the thoracic cavity and subsequently interfering with normal lung development. At birth, pulmonary hypoplasia leads to respiratory insufficiency and persistent pulmonary hypertension (PHT), that is lethal in up to 32% of patients. In isolated cases, the outcome may be predicted prenatally by medical imaging and advanced genetic testing. In those fetuses with a predicted poor outcome, fetoscopic endoluminal tracheal occlusion may be offered. This procedure is currently being evaluated in a global randomized clinical trial (www.TOTALtrial.eu). We are currently investigating alternative strategies including transplacental sildenafil administration to reduce the occurrence of persistent PHT.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) is a malformation of the diaphragm accounting for 8% of all major congenital anomalies. Although many clinical factors of survival in children with CDH have been established, limited research exists on the role of sociodemographic and other factors. We aimed to systematically identify and summarize all available international literature, published from January 2000 to July 2017, evaluating specific mortality factors for children with prenatally diagnosed, isolated, left-sided CDH. METHODS MEDLINE, PROSPERO, EMBASE, Scopus, The Cochrane Library databases, and the table of contents for the past 5 years for relevant journals were searched systematically. The risk factors of interest were as follows: birth weight, gestational age (GA) at diagnosis, GA at birth, infant sex, maternal age, ethnicity, socioeconomic status (SES), and plurality. The primary outcome measure was survival. Data were extracted on study design, study quality, participant data, and survival-related effect estimates. RESULTS Seven studies fulfilled the inclusion criteria. In total, 347 children were included in the review. Birth weight, GA at diagnosis, and GA at birth were evaluated in five studies each, infant sex in two, and maternal age in one. None of these factors were significantly associated with survival. No studies evaluated the influence of plurality, ethnicity or SES. CONCLUSION Although the factors of interest showed no significant association with survival, more evidence is required to confirm these findings. Understanding whether sociodemographic factors are associated with survival may help inform the development of public health interventions to improve survival rates for children with CDH.

Abstract
BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVES Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia (CDH) is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. This study compares the efficacy of the highest oxygenation index in the first 48 h (HiOI) versus current prenatal indices to predict survival and morbidity. METHODS Medical records of 50 prenatally diagnosed, isolated, left-sided CDH patients treated from January 2011 to April 2016 were reviewed. Data abstracted included HiOI, lung to head ratio (LHR), observed to expected total fetal lung volume (O/E TFLV), percent liver herniation (%LH), 6 month survival, respiratory support at discharge, ventilator days and length of stay. Data were analyzed using parametric and nonparametric tests and regression analyses as appropriate. RESULTS HiOI was associated with significantly increased LOS (p<0.001), respiratory support at discharge (p<0.001), greater ventilator days (p=0.001) and higher odds of death (p=0.004) with risk of death increasing by 5% for every one-unit increase in OI. HiOI was statistically a better predictor of LOS than O/E TFLV (p=0.007) and %LH (p=0.02). CONCLUSIONS In isolated, left-sided CDH patients, HiOI is associated with higher mortality, greater length of stay, more ventilator days and increased respiratory support at discharge. HiOI is a better predictor of length of stay than O/E TFLV and %LH. TYPE OF STUDY Retrospective Study LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: II.

A novel multimodal computational system using near-infrared spectroscopy predicts the need for ECMO initiation in neonates with congenital diaphragmatic hernia. J Pediatr Surg 2017; 53:S0022-3468(17)30653-X.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to develop a computational algorithm that would predict the need for ECMO in neonates with congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH). METHODS CDH patients from August 2010 to 2016 were enrolled in a study to continuously measure cerebral tissue oxygen saturation (cStO2) of left and right cerebral hemispheres. NIRS devices utilized were FORE-SIGHT, CASMED and INVOS 5100, Somanetics. Using MATLAB©, a data randomization function was used to deidentify and blindly group patient's data files as follows: 12 for the computational model development phase (6 ECMO and 6 non-ECMO) and the remaining patients for the validation phase. RESULTS Of the 56 CDH patients enrolled, 22 (39%) required ECMO. During development of the algorithm, a difference between right and left hemispheric cerebral oxygenation via NIRS (ΔHCO) was noted in CDH patients that required ECMO. Using ROC analysis, a ΔHCO cutoff >10% was predictive of needing ECMO (AUC: 0.92; sensitivity: 85%; and specificity: 100%). The algorithm predicted need for ECMO within the first 12h of life and at least 6h prior to the clinical decision for ECMO with 88% sensitivity and 100% specificity. CONCLUSION This computational algorithm of cerebral NIRS predicts the need for ECMO in neonates with CDH. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE II.

Abstract
In congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH), herniation of the abdominal organs into the fetal chest causes pulmonary hypoplasia and pulmonary hypertension, the main causes of neonatal mortality. As antenatal ultrasound screening improves, the risk of postnatal death can now be better predicted, allowing for the identification of fetuses that might most benefit from a prenatal intervention. Fetoscopic tracheal occlusion is being evaluated in a large international randomized controlled trial. We present the antenatal imaging approaches that can help identify fetuses that might benefit from antenatal therapy, and review the evolution of fetal surgery for CDH to date.
