Follow up of infants with congenital diaphragmatic hernia.

摘要

Survival of patients with congenital diaphragmatic hernia has improved with the introduction of more sophisticated treatments. Long-term follow up has led to the recognition of pulmonary morbidity not previously recognized. In addition, extrapulmonary problems associated with the survival of these high-risk infants are now being identified. This review describes associated morbidities in congenital diaphragmatic hernia survivors and their predictors.
