Objective  To assess the predictive value of observed‐to‐expected lung‐to‐head ratio (O/E LHR) for survival and chronic lung disease (CLD) in survivors of left‐sided congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) in an era of standardized neonatal treatment, and to evaluate the predictive value of the O/E LHR trajectory for survival.    Methods  This retrospective cohort study was performed in two high‐volume CDH centers in the Netherlands in prenatally detected, isolated left‐sided CDH patients born between 2008 and 2014. O/E LHR and liver position were determined using 2D‐ultrasonography at three time points during gestation from 19 weeks onwards. Ultrasound measurements were performed on stored ultrasound data by one single experienced operator blinded to postnatal outcome.    Results  Of the 122 included cases, 77.9% survived of whom 38.9% developed CLD. A significant association was found between the first measured O/E LHR and survival and development of CLD in survivors. Prenatal liver position did not have additional predictive value. No significant association was found between the trajectory of the O/E LHR and survival.    Conclusion  In an era of standardized neonatal treatment for neonates with CDH, the first measured O/E LHR per patient significantly predicts survival and development of CLD in survivors in isolated left‐sided CDH infants. © 2017 The Authors.
