Right Bochdalek congenital diaphragmatic hernia: a tertiary center's experience over 13 years.

Published in: Annals of pediatric surgery (2021)

We found that low birth weight and the presence of severe PHTN were risk factors for mortality in neonates with RB-CDH. These results are in line with previous studies on prognostic factors in CDH. Ventilator-related pneumothorax appears to be a significant contributing cause of death. Long-term follow-up studies of infants born with RB-CDH are needed as small number of cases limits large-volume RB-CDH studies.
