Clinical characteristics and outcomes of neonates with congenital diaphragmatic hernia at the Vietnam National Children's Hospital: a retrospective observational study.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundCongenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) has a high mortality rate, particularly in low- and middle-income countries. This study aimed to investigate mortality rates and associated factors in CDH neonates in Vietnam.
methodsThis retrospective observational study included CDH neonates admitted to a central children's hospital in Vietnam between November 2021 and September 2023. We collected data on neonates' characteristics, management, complications, and outcomes, comparing these data between survivors and non-survivors. We also employed logistic regression analysis to identify factors associated with hospital mortality.
resultsOf 74 neonates with CDH, 64.9% (48/74) were male. The hospital mortality rate was 50.0% (37/74). The median gestational age at birth was 38 weeks (interquartile range [IQR]: 38-39), and the median age at admission was 5.2 h (IQR: 3.0-15.8). All neonates were referred from various prior hospitals, with 83.8% (62/74) requiring immediate postnatal intubation. The neonates presented in critical condition, as reflected by a median pre- and post-ductal SpO
conclusionsIn this selected cohort of CDH neonates admitted to a central children's hospital in Vietnam, a high hospital mortality rate was observed. The findings suggest that limited access to neonatal intensive care and surgical repair may have influenced outcomes, warranting further evaluation in similar resource-limited settings to improve care strategies.
