Risk-stratification enables accurate single-center outcomes assessment in congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH)

Management of CDH is highly variable from center to center, as are patient outcomes. The purpose of this study was to examine risk-stratified survival and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) rates at a single center, and to determine whether adverse outcomes are related to patient characteristics or management.
