- Abstract
The article presents the study conducted regarding the prognostic use of lung-to-head ratio (LHR) in measuring fetus with congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH). The study which undergoes four phases indicates that LHR is varied with gestation and that LHR-directed fetal surgery has no use. The prognostic use of the scheme needs more clinical practice to improve its clinical application and validity.
