Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the genetic factors, prevalence, and outcomes of patients with congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) combined with cleft lip and/or palate (CL/P).
- Findings reveal that CDH patients have a low prevalence of CL/P (0.7%) and those with both conditions experience worse health outcomes, including higher mortality rates and longer hospital stays.
- Genetic abnormalities linked to CDH+CL/P include trisomy 13 and deletions in specific chromosomal regions, highlighting the complex interplay between these congenital defects.
Intraepithelial mast cells (MCs) are increased in eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) and reduced with elimination of dietary antigens. Single food reintroduction can identify triggers of eosinophilia; however, the extent to which specific foods trigger intraepithelial mastocytosis remains unknown. We hypothesized that specific foods drive different degrees of MC inflammation.

Currently, there is no routinely obtained prenatal prognostic marker to reliably predict postnatal CDH-associated PHTN severity.
Methods: The CDH Study Group (CDHSG) registry was queried for infants born from 2015 to 2021 with a graded (1-4) PHTN diagnosis.
Objective: Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia (CDH) associated with hydrops is rare. The aim of this study was to describe the incidence of this combination of anomalies and the postnatal outcomes from a large database for CDH.
Study Design: Data from the multicenter, multinational database on infants with prenatally diagnosed CDH (CDHSG Registry) born from 2015 to 2021 were analyzed.
