NeoAPACHE II. Relationship Between Radiographic Pulmonary Area and Pulmonary Hypertension, Mortality, and Hernia Recurrence in Newborns With CDH.

ABSTRACT: Congenital diaphragmatic hernia is a rare disease with high mortality and morbidity due to pulmonary hypoplasia and pulmonary hypertension. The aim of the study is to investigate the relationship between radiographic lung area and systolic pulmonary artery pressure (sPAP) on the first day of life, mortality, and hernia recurrence during the first year of life in infants with a congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH). A retrospective data collection was performed on 77 CDH newborns. Echocardiographic sPAP value, deaths, and recurrence cases were recorded. Lung area was calculated by tracing the lung's perimeter, excluding mediastinal structures, and herniated organs, on the preoperative chest X-ray performed within 24 h after birth. Logistic and linear regression analyses were performed. Deceased infants showed lower areas and higher sPAP values. One square centimeter of rising in the total, ipsilateral, and contralateral area was associated with a 22, 43, and 24% reduction in mortality risk. sPAP values showed a decreasing trend after birth, with a maximum of 1.84 mmHg reduction per unitary increment in the ipsilateral area at birth. Recurrence patients showed lower areas, with recurrence risk decreasing by 14 and 29% per unit increment of the total and ipsilateral area. In CDH patients, low lung area at birth reflects impaired lung development and defect size, being associated with increased sPAP values, mortality, and recurrence risk. Clinical Trial Registration: The manuscript is an exploratory secondary analysis of the trial registered at ClinicalTrials.gov with identifier NCT04396028.

Project description:BackgroundCongenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) is associated with significant pulmonary morbidity. Previous investigation has shown that postnatal inpatient morbidity is linked to diaphragmatic defect size. The objective of this study was to evaluate long-term pulmonary outcomes by CDH study group defect size.MethodsA retrospective analysis was conducted for CDH patients (n=133) managed in a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) at a single children's hospital within an adult hospital system and subsequently followed up at a comprehensive multidisciplinary CDH clinic (n=102) from January 2012 to April 2022. CDH patients were stratified according to Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia Study Group (CDHSG) Stage, and then categorized as low-risk (LR), defect size A and B, or high-risk (HR), defect size C and D. Inpatient data, including the presence of pulmonary hypertension, extracorporeal life support (ECLS) utilization, and mechanical ventilation days, were collected. Post-discharge data including the prevalence of asthma, pulmonary hypertension, emergency department visits, the total number of hospitalizations, and average rehospitalization days were collected. Frequentist analysis was used.ResultsThe outcomes for 133 NICU patients were analyzed (HR: n=54, LR: n=79). During NICU stay, the prevalence of pulmonary hypertension [HR: 16/54 (30%) vs. LR: 9/79 (12%), P=0.009], ECLS utilization [HR: 19/54 (35%) vs. LR: 4/79 (5%), P<0.001], and the average number of mechanical ventilation days [HR: 17 days (IQR: 12-27) vs. LR: 5 days (IQR: 2-9), P<0.001] were significantly higher in the HR CDH group. Post NICU discharge, the prevalence of asthma [HR: 20/54 (37%), vs. LR: 17/79 (22%), P=0.050)] and the total days of rehospitalization [HR: 9 (IQR: 2-27) vs. LR: 4 (IQR: 1-8), P=0.035] were significantly higher in HR group. Of the patients seen in the comprehensive multidisciplinary CDH clinic, obstructive lung disease measured by impulse oscillometry was increased in the HR CDH population compared to the reference group [median R5Hz was 12.95 kPa/(L/s) in CDH vs. 9.8 kPa/(L/s) (P=0.010)].ConclusionsHR CDHSG Stage is associated with worse inpatient and long-term pulmonary outcomes.

Project description:IntroductionOutcome predictions of patients with congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) still have some limitations in the prenatal estimate of postnatal pulmonary hypertension (PH). We propose applying Machine Learning (ML), and Deep Learning (DL) approaches to fetuses and newborns with CDH to develop forecasting models in prenatal epoch, based on the integrated analysis of clinical data, to provide neonatal PH as the first outcome and, possibly: favorable response to fetal endoscopic tracheal occlusion (FETO), need for Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO), survival to ECMO, and death. Moreover, we plan to produce a (semi)automatic fetus lung segmentation system in Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), which will be useful during project implementation but will also be an important tool itself to standardize lung volume measures for CDH fetuses.Methods and analyticsPatients with isolated CDH from singleton pregnancies will be enrolled, whose prenatal checks were performed at the Fetal Surgery Unit of the Fondazione IRCCS Ca' Granda Ospedale Maggiore Policlinico (Milan, Italy) from the 30th week of gestation. A retrospective data collection of clinical and radiological variables from newborns' and mothers' clinical records will be performed for eligible patients born between 01/01/2012 and 31/12/2020. The native sequences from fetal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) will be collected. Data from different sources will be integrated and analyzed using ML and DL, and forecasting algorithms will be developed for each outcome. Methods of data augmentation and dimensionality reduction (feature selection and extraction) will be employed to increase sample size and avoid overfitting. A software system for automatic fetal lung volume segmentation in MRI based on the DL 3D U-NET approach will also be developed.Ethics and disseminationThis retrospective study received approval from the local ethics committee (Milan Area 2, Italy). The development of predictive models in CDH outcomes will provide a key contribution in disease prediction, early targeted interventions, and personalized management, with an overall improvement in care quality, resource allocation, healthcare, and family savings. Our findings will be validated in a future prospective multicenter cohort study.RegistrationThe study was registered at ClinicalTrials.gov with the identifier NCT04609163.
