  1. aGiant defect: >5 cm or >50% of liver herniated on MRI.
  2. The below table shows the correlation of predictor variables to mortality at birth, mortality at discharge, need for a deferred repair, need for respiratory support, and need for nutritional support respectively.
  3. Significance defined by p<0.05.
