Abstract:1 2The aim of our study was to investigate the incidence of congenital defects in children born in Croatia during a 3 period of 5 years, its association with extracardiac malformations, its treatment and outcome. Medical 4 information about the patients was obtained from 14 paediatric cardiology centres that cover the whole country.

More than half of CDH survivors continue to have chronic pulmonary disease. CDH survivors had lower aerobic exercise capacity than controls. Self-reporting information on daily activities may identify CDH patients with low V˙O2max who may benefit from physical training. Pediatr Pulmonol. 2016;51:1320-1329. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
