Abstract

Growth impairment is frequent in surviving newborns with congenital diaphragmatic hernia requiring a patch repair. This multicenter retrospective study included 57 newborns and showed a significant relationship between prophylactic fundoplication performed during initial diaphragmatic repair and survival without disordered growth, after adjustment for propensity score (adjusted OR 4.7 [1.2-18.5]; P=.03).
