Abstract
Objective:
To analyze operative repair, extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) and survival rates based on highest pre-ductal oxygen saturation (Pre-O2SAT) in a large infant cohort reported to Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia Study Group Registry between 2000 and 2010.
Study Design:
Analyzed data included gestational age, birth weight, defect side and size, repair, ECMO use, survival and highest reported PaO2 and Pre-O2SAT in first 24 h of life. We excluded 614 infants due to severe anomaly. Pre-O2SAT data were available for 1672 infants.
Result:
Among infants with highest Pre-O2SAT value <85%, survival (24/105=23%) and repair (55/105=52%) rates were significantly decreased compared with infants with higher values. Survival increased to 44% for infants with highest Pre-O2SAT<85% who underwent operative repair. Of these, 83% (20/24) required ECMO support compared with 15% (144/961) of survivors with Pre-O2SAT>99% (P<0.001). The lowest reported Pre-O2SAT with survival was 32% and for survival without ECMO was 52%.
Conclusion:
A reported highest Pre-O2SAT<85% in the first 24 h of life was not uniformly fatal; but survival of infants with Pre-O2SAT<85% was associated with high ECMO use and prolonged hospitalization.
