Topic overview
Children with congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) are vulnerable to lung injury secondary to aspiration and have an elevated risk of dysphagia. This study assesses video fluoroscopic swallow study (VFSS) utilization to detect aspiration and aims to identify prenatal indicators of swallow dysfunction in infants with CDH.
