Abstract
Background/Purpose
The aim of this study was to evaluate our prenatal risk stratification system for risk-adjusted management in fetuses with isolated congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH).
Methods
Ninety-four infants prenatally diagnosed with isolated CDH treated between 1998 and 2017 at our institution were included in this retrospective single-center cohort study.
Results
The patients were prenatally classified into four risk groups: Group A (n = 54), which consisted of infants with neither liver-up nor a contralateral lung-to-thorax transverse area (L/T) ratio
