Defect Size

Size Does Matter!

It became apparent that not all CDH were created equal and that size of defect was important

Version III designed to quantitate size of defect

V. 3 of Registry Evaluated recorded morbidity at d/c Correlated degree of morbidity to defect Analysis between groups and time

Methods

Defect correlated with morbidity as well as mortality Overall improving morbidity No major changes in large defect patients

Conclusions

Is aggressive surgical management worth it?

Harting et al, Ann Surg, 2018

Is aggressive surgical management worth it?

Harting et al, Ann Surg, 2018

Aggressive approach leads to highest survival It is costly Morbidity is high

Putnam et al, JAMA Pediatrics, 2017

What about Nitric Oxide ?

Treatment with iNO was associated with a 15% higher absolute mortality

iNO use highly variable between centers > 1/3 patients w/o CDH-PHTN received iNO Little data to support iNO benefit in CDH iNO use is associated with worse outcome iNO use in patients with CDH needs re-evaluation

Conclusions

Centers with at least 22 years of continual participation Grouped by 5 year intervals Evaluated Overall Survival Looked at O:E survival

25 Years – Any Progress?

Significant increase in survival over years Current overall survival is 73% for all comers Surgical survival is 85% Remains a large variation amongst centers

25 Years – Any Progress?

The CDH Study Registry

• Ability to study infrequent problems• Data on very large number of patients• Individual centers can compare themselves with others• Demonstrate changes over time of management and outcome

PROs

The CDH Study Registry

• Observational data• Inability to evaluate long-term sequelae• Difficult to collect complicated information• Wide spectrum of patients and treatment philosophies

CONs

The “Gold Standard”Randomized Clinical Trial

• Expensive ($500k-$3 million+)• Labor intensive• Takes a long time (5-10 years)• Requires consent / challenges of recruitment• Requires multi-institutional cooperation• Answers a single question• Nearly impossible to achieve appropriate sample size in CDH

The future of the CDHSG• Ongoing evolution of versions to address current questions

• Version 5 – Breakout session this meeting• Management standardization• Long term data collection• Novel statistical analysis
