Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia (CDH) Program
Research

CDH Research

In addition to overseeing the medical care of your baby, Cincinnati Children’s is part of the International Diaphragmatic Hernia Registry. Our participation lets us continually evaluate and adopt new methods of treatment for the best possible outcomes. 

We also participate in clinical trials of new treatments for congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH). This gives your child access to the most advanced care.

Areas of research focus include:
  • Monitoring and improving lung growth during fetal and neonatal stages
  • Nutrition
  • Quality improvements during delivery
