Analysis of risk factors and establishment of predictive models for neonatal necrotizing enterocolitis: a retrospective study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is a leading gastrointestinal condition in preterm infants, characterized by significant morbidity and mortality. Early recognition of risk factors is crucial for its prevention and prediction. This study focuses on identifying factors that contribute to the development of NEC in neonates.

Methods

A case-control study that looked back at 144 newborns hospitalized to a Wuhan hospital between January 2010 and March 2023 for NEC was carried out. Over the same period, another 144 children without NEC were identified and selected as the non-NEC group for comparison, following a 1:1 pairing ratio. The relevant data from these two groups of newborns were compared. Univariate analysis was conducted using T-tests or χ² tests, foll
