In brief
This correspondence responds to comments on research examining mortality in very low birth weight (VLBW) neonates with congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH). The authors acknowledge the need for further investigation to address the extremely high mortality rate in this vulnerable population where prematurity compounds CDH management challenges.
Written by the GCMD Library team from the article.
We would like to thank Drs. Gowda and Fernandes for their comments. Advances in neonatal care have improved the mortality of premature neonates [1]. However, we conducted this study because a paucity of data exists regarding the mortality of VLBW neonates with CDH. We concur that further investigation is required to improve the extremely high mortality of these neonates.
