Comparison of Prenatal Lung Volume Measurements Associated with Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) Utilization and Mortality in Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia

Topic overview

Key takeaways

• - Multiple prenatal lung volume metrics exist for CDH risk stratification: LHR, O/E LHR, O/E TFLV, and PPLV. - Study compares predictive accuracy of these measurements for mortality and ECMO need at different gestational timepoints. - Accurate prenatal prediction helps guide counseling, delivery planning, and resource allocation for CDH cases. - Timing of measurement (early vs late gestation) may affect which metric performs best for outcome prediction.
