Abstract: Results: 65 pregnancies with CDH were evaluated, with 7 loss of follow-up, 1 miscarriage and 2 with ongoing pregnancies.From 55 that were subject of analysis, there were 46 left and 9 right CDH.All evaluations were done between 24 and 32 weeks of GA.Five pregnancies with left CDH and <25% O/E had 0% survival.Three of these were treated by FETO, without neonatal survival.All these cases were plugged and un-plugged at 27 and 34 weeks respectively.Delivery occurred in 6 hospitals.There was a significant correlation between O/E LHR and survival in Left and Right CDH (pearson p<0.05).The figure shows survival in Chile, compared to Leuven, by sides.Some groups of O/E LHR had very few cases which could explain differences to survival in Leuven.Conclusions: Survival is related to lung size at evaluation, as well as other reference charts.Until now, despite FETO, severe cases have not survived.
