Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia
- This paper provides a comprehensive overview of Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia (CDH), including its definition, associated syndromes, and incidence. The incidence of CDH is reported to be less than 5 in 10,000 live births. The paper also discusses the etiology, prenatal diagnosis, and treatment options, highlighting the need for more research on this severe condition.

Incidence, predictors and outcomes of congenital diaphragmatic hernia: a population-based study of 32 million births in the United States
- This population-based cohort study evaluates the incidence, risk factors, and neonatal outcomes associated with CDH. The study reports an incidence of 1.93 per 10,000 births. It identifies several risk factors, including fetal male gender, maternal age beyond 40, Caucasian ethnicity, smoking, and alcohol use during pregnancy. The study also highlights the increased risk of adverse outcomes such as preterm birth, intrauterine growth restriction, stillbirth, and overall infant death.

Congenital diaphragmatic hernia with heart defect has a high risk for hypoplastic left heart syndrome and major extra-cardiac malformations: 10-year national cohort from Finland
- This study focuses on the prevalence and prenatal detection rates of CDH with heart defects and its association with major extra-cardiac malformations. It emphasizes the poor prognosis associated with CDH when accompanied by congenital heart defects.

Congenital diaphragmatic hernia. Epidemiology and outcome.
- This article discusses the epidemiology and outcomes of CDH, noting that it affects about 1,114 babies annually in the United States. The reported survival rate averages 60%, but it can be significantly lower. The paper underscores the variability in treatment and outcomes and the need for multicenter studies to develop effective treatment strategies.

Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia- A Case Report
- This case report details an instance of CDH diagnosed via ultrasound at 25 weeks of gestation. The incidence is noted to be 1 in 2,000-5,000 live births, accounting for 8% of all congenital defects. The report highlights the severe complications and high mortality associated with CDH, despite surgical intervention.
-
Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia: Experimental Approach
- This paper discusses the experimental approaches to understanding and treating CDH. It notes that the incidence is reported to be 1 in 2,000-5,000 births. The study emphasizes the importance of pulmonary hypoplasia in determining survival and suggests that lung growth retardation at the time of pleuroperitoneal canal closure may result in CDH.

Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia: Core Review and Novel Updates
- This review article provides an update on the incidence, pathogenesis, and treatment of CDH. The incidence is reported to be approximately 2.4-4.1 per 10,000 births, with a survival rate estimated at 70-90%. The paper highlights the importance of early diagnosis and the standard of care for initial stabilization of neonates with CDH.
These articles collectively provide a detailed understanding of the incidence, risk factors, and outcomes associated with Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia, as well as current treatment approaches and areas needing further research.
