Abstract
AimThis study aims to define patterns in the management of congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH).MethodsA total of 180 delegates (77% senior surgeons) from 44 (26 European) countries completed a survey at the 2014 European Pediatric Surgeons' Association meeting.ResultsOverall, 34% of the surgeons work in centers that treat<5 cases of CDH/y, 38% work in centers that treat 5 to 10 cases/y, and 28% work in centers that treat>10 cases/y. Overall, 62% of the surgeons work in extra corporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) centers and 23% in fetal surgery centers. Prenatal work up and delivery: 47% surgeons request prenatal magnetic resonance imaging, 53% offer karyotyping, 22% perform a fetal intervention, 74% monitor head-to-lung ratio, and 55% administer maternal steroids.
