Letter to the Editor in Response to: Risk Factors for Preoperative Pneumothorax in Neonates with Isolated Left-Sided Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia: An International Cohort Study

We read with interest the article by Masahata, et al, (1) that explores the risk factors for preoperative pneumothorax (PTX) in newborns with Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia (CDH). While we commend the authors for their comprehensive analysis of a substantial dataset, we are compelled to underscore certain aspects of their results that must be accounted for while interpreting their findings.
