Lung function over the first 3 years of life in children with congenital diaphragmatic hernia.

Objectives: Infants with congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) have variable degrees of pulmonary hypoplasia at birth. Few reports of lung function over the first years of life exist in this group of children.

Hypothesis: Pulmonary function abnormalities correlate with severity of neonatal disease and intensity of neonatal therapies needed.
