Mediastinal Shift Index: A Novel Postnatal Measurement of Mediastinal Movement that Predicts Survival in Neonates With Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia on Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation

Abstract

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.
