Article Synopsis
- Fetal imaging studies are used to assess the prognosis of congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) and the need for therapy, but recent findings suggest these predictions may not be accurate anymore due to improved survival rates.
- A study on 58 left-sided CDH cases revealed that contemporary survival rates were significantly higher across all severity classifications compared to past studies, indicating that current prognostic criteria are outdated.
- The authors argue that these overly pessimistic imaging criteria could result in unnecessary fetal interventions, stressing the need for new prognostic guidelines in future research.
