Since December 1984 to July 1987, 18 patients with NEC were studied. Vásquez-Estévez's protocol, was applied in order to define the surgical indication, taking in to account ten different clinical and laboratory parameters, each one scored 0 to 3 points. Only patients with score 15 or more should be operated and this was the case in 30% of our NEC. In all surgically treated patients intestinal necrosis was a constant finding, two of them had also bowel perforations. No patients died in the conservative management group (score under 15). Lethality among operated subjects was 16%.
从1984年12月至1987年7月，对18例坏死性小肠结肠炎（NEC）患者进行了研究。应用瓦斯克斯 - 埃斯特韦斯方案来确定手术指征，该方案考虑了十个不同的临床和实验室参数，每个参数的评分从0到3分。只有评分15分及以上的患者才应接受手术，我们的NEC患者中有30%属于这种情况。在所有接受手术治疗的患者中，肠坏死是一个常见的发现，其中两人还出现了肠穿孔。保守治疗组（评分低于15分）没有患者死亡。手术患者的死亡率为16%。
