2002, Journal of Pediatric SurgeryCitation Excerpt :This observation is in accordance with those in recent large studies showing significantly increased mortality rate in CDH patients with a prenatal diagnosis compared with those without.4,8,13,31 However, some studies did not find any effect on mortality rate.1-2,32-33 There is reason to believe that increased statistical power based on a large sample was a prerequisite for this finding.
Congenital diaphragmatic hernia: A meta-analysis of mortality factors
2000, Journal of Pediatric SurgeryCitation Excerpt :The current study shows that mortality rate is increased among prenatally diagnosed CDH patients compared with postnatally diagnosed patients. The highest pooled mortality rates were found in the group with fetuses diagnosed prenatally, and these findings support the conclusions from other reports,2,12,76 but this is in contrast to other reports.6,7,13,14,68 The magnitude of the effect of prenatal diagnosis on pooled mortality rate is relatively strong with an odds ratio between 2.0 and 4.0 depending on the study population.
