- Abstract
Objectives: We studied the clinical characteristics and outcomes of neonates with congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) admitted to a non-extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) center. Methods: A retrospective chart review of neonates with CDH admitted to a University Hospital, in Amman, Jordan, between 2005 and 2019. Demographic characteristics and their management details were extracted and factors associated with survival were analyzed. Results: A total of 28 neonates born with CDH were included; their survival rate was 39.3%. Onset of respiratory distress, pre-operative ventilation, and length of hospitalization were significantly associated with mortality. Survival after surgery was significantly associated with a higher gestational age and a longer hospital stay. Conclusion: Our study showed a high mortality rate for CDH patients. Decreasing the health inequity and improved clinical interventions could improve outcomes.
