Congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) is a severe disorder in neonates. The prognosis has been improved in the past 10 years by a combination of HFO ventilation, sedation and analgesia, nitric oxide and delayed surgery. Extracorporeal oxygenation (ECMO) has been proposed by certain teams. A decrease in mortality from 70% to approximately 40% has recently been reported [1,2]. However, little is known about the outcome of such patients. We report the outcome of a group of patients after 10 years' follow-up.
