Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia Study Group

The Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia Study Group is an organization that researches and improves understanding of congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH), a birth defect where an opening in the diaphragm allows abdominal organs to move into the chest, affecting lung development. The group collects data from hospitals and clinics to study how CDH patients are diagnosed, treated, and recover. Their goal is to enhance outcomes through sharing knowledge, developing best practices, and advancing medical research for better care and survival rates in affected infants.
