CDH International is proud to introduce the new CDH Patient Registry!
Our natural history study database has been updated to a REDCap server and our organization is working with The World Federation of Associations of Pediatric Surgeons (WOFAPS) to utilize our research data in collaborations with DHREAMS, the CDH Study Group, Massachusetts General, the NIH’s KidsFirst Database, the Zani Lab, and other research centers for Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia.
It’s taken years of hard work and a good team to restructure all the data and we are now ready to work. Everything is HIPAA and GDPR compliant and built over many discussions to make sure that it’s compatible with other research centers.
