• To evaluate the association between prenatal imaging predictors of patients with left-sided congenital diaphragmatic hernia (LCDH) and postnatal outcomes. CDH study group data were reviewed for LCDH infants born 2015-2019. Prenatal ultrasound (US) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data were collected and correlated with postnatal information including CDHSG defect size (A through D or non-repair (NR)). In total, 929 LCDH patients were included. Both US and MRI imaging predictors correlated with postnatal survival (72.2%) and ECLS use (29.6%). Logistic regression models confirmed increased survival and decreased ECLS use with larger values for all predictors. Importantly, all prenatal values evaluated showed no significant difference between defect size D and NR patients. This is the largest cohort of LCDH patients and demonstrates that prenatal imaging factors correlate with postnatal outcomes and confirms that patients in the non-repair group are prenatally similar to type D defects.
