OBJECTIVES: To estimate the prognosis of prenatally diagnosed isolated congenital diaphragmatic hernia (PDICDH) treated with 'immediate planned care' (IPC) between 1999 and 2003 in Eastern Brittany. METHODS: The prognosis of PDICDH was compared with the prognosis of the other live-born CDH, either prenatally undiagnosed or not having had IPC. IPC consisted in prenatal lung maturation with corticosteroids, elective caesarean section at 37 weeks, immediate intubation, surfactant, high- frequency ventilation or oscillation, nitric oxide, intravenous prostacyclin, anaesthesia and haemodynamic support. Surgical repair was performed in the NICU 34 h after birth. RESULTS: The incidence of CDH was 0.8 per thousand with a prenatal diagnosis rate of 27/30 (90%), leading to a termination of pregnancy in nine cases. Ten CDH were associated with other malformations. IPC in PDICDH was performed in 12 cases. The survival rate of PDICDH with IPC was 11/12 versus 1/9 in CDH with no IPC or no prenatal diagnosis (p < 0.01). Logistic regression analysis showed that IPC was determinant for survival (p < 0.01). CONCLUSION: Prenatal diagnosis of isolated CDH treated with immediate planned care is associated with a high survival rate. This suggests that prenatal diagnosis associated with specifically adapted postnatal procedure may improve the prognosis of isolated CDH.
