CDH Research Initiative | CDH Patient Registry | CDHi Medical Advisory Board | Current Studies | Hospital Accreditation | Grants | Publications
The following hospitals and organizations are currently conducting CDH research studies.
Each has their own set of guidelines. Some studies include blood work on all family members, some include oral swabs. Some studies also include grieving families. There is no cost to families to participate in research studies. We encourage members to participate in as much research as possible so that we can help save babies of the future and their families from suffering from Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia.
