Topic overview
Mediastinal position varies in neonates with congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH), reflecting contralateral shift due to mass effect. We aimed to create and validate a postnatal measurement of mediastinal positioning using chest radiographs in neonates with CDH who require extracorporeal membrane oxygenation.
