Prediction tools in congenital diaphragmatic hernia

Semin Perinatol. 2020 Feb;44(1):151165. doi: 10.1053/j.semperi.2019.07.004. Epub 2019 Jul 31.

Abstract

Because congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) is characterized by a spectrum of severity, risk stratification is an essential component of care. In both the prenatal and postnatal periods, accurate prediction of outcomes may inform clinical decision-making, care planning, and resource allocation. This review examines the history and utility of the most well-established risk prediction tools currently available, and provides recommendations for their optimal use in the management of CDH patients.

Keywords: CDH; congenital diaphragmatic hernia; prediction tools; risk stratification.
