Abstract :

Aim: The aim of this study was to analyze the neonates treated for congenital diaphragmatic hernia and to study the prognostic factors affecting the outcome. Settings and Design: The study was a retrospective study of CDH admitted in our Institute from January 2014 to Dec 2019. Materials and Methods: All cases of CDH undergoing surgery in our hospital were included. Babies who had eventration of the diaphragm were not included Results : One hundred and forty cases (68% Males, 54 % inborn, and 75% > 37 weeks) were studied. Mean Birth weight was 2855  570.60 g and mean gestational age was 37.55  1.75 weeks. The survival rate was 61%. Factors adversely affecting outcome were herniation of liver or stomach (p<0.05), low APGAR score at 5 min (<5), presence of moderate to severe PPHN (p<0.001) , presence of shock (p<0.003),low partial pressure of oxygen, high alveolar – arterial oxygen gradient and high oxygenation index. Conclusion: Morbidity rates were higher in newborns with low Apgar score, moderate to severe PPHN, need for hi gher ventilatory settings in our institution. Antenatal diagnosis failed to influence the outcome.
