Prevalence of Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease in Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia Survivors From Infancy to Adulthood
Topic overview
This study examines the prevalence of gastroesophageal reflux disease across the lifespan of CDH survivors, from infancy to young adulthood. Given the serious complications including Barrett's esophagus and early-onset esophageal cancer, understanding GERD's natural course in this population is critical for surveillance protocols.
Key takeaways
- GERD is a common comorbidity in CDH survivors, with cases of Barrett's esophagus and esophageal adenocarcinoma reported before age 25.
- The true prevalence and natural progression of GERD in CDH patients remain unclear due to inconsistent diagnostic approaches.
- Long-term surveillance for GERD complications is warranted in CDH survivors from infancy through young adulthood.
