Predictors of congenital diaphragmatic hernia in newborns

Congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) is a disorder that is defined by a rupture of the diaphragm, which permits an abdominal hernia to enter the chest space. This disease may be present from birth. Our objective was to identify the features of a person that placed them at a higher risk for developing CDH. A case control study design was used to collect data from the registry for 66 people who had been diagnosed with CDH. The data were acquired from the registry. CDH infants were more likely to be preterm (OR, 3.79; 95 percent CI, 2.01-7.21) and weigh lower than 2500 gr at birth (OR, 3.32; 95 percent CI, 1.65-5.89). Maternal age of 35 years or older (OR, 3.51; 95 % CI, 1.49-6.12) and being small for gestational age (OR, 3.71; 95 % CI, 1.87-6.69) were associated with increased odds of having a CDH infant. Being preterm and small for gestational age as well as low birth weight were independent risk factors for congenital diaphragmal hernia. The chance of having a child born with CDH rises with the mother's age.
