Prevalence of Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease in Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia Survivors From Infancy to Adulthood

Abstract

Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a common comorbidity associated with congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH), with reported cases of Barrett's esophagus (BE) and esophageal adenocarcinoma before the age of 25. The prevalence and natural course of GERD in CDH survivors remain uncertain due to variations in diagnostic methods. We aimed to analyse the GERD prevalence from infancy through young adulthood.
