BACKGROUND/AIM: The objective of the study was analysis of risk factors associated with outcome of necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) in infants in a single-center study.
All consecutive infants hospitalized for NEC over a period of 6 years were retrospectively analyzed for clinical course, infections, treatment and outcome.
Out of 76 patients, surgical management was applied in 56 (53 exploratory laparotomy, three initial peritoneal drain placement) and in 20 there was only a conservative approach. Segmental intestinal resection was performed in 41 patients. Survival from NEC in our cohort was 79%. We found that independent adverse risk factors of outcome of newborns and infants with NEC were gut perforation, infection, abdominal wall erythema, and development of acute kidney injury.
We underline the value of both surgical and conservative approach with careful management in this cohort of patients.
背景/目的:本研究的目的是分析单中心研究中与坏死性小肠结肠炎(NEC)结局相关的危险因素。
对 6 年来因 NEC 住院的所有连续婴儿的临床过程、感染、治疗和结局进行回顾性分析。
76 例患儿中,56 例行手术治疗(53 例行剖腹探查术,3 例初始行腹腔引流术),20 例仅行保守治疗。41 例患儿行肠段切除术。本队列 NEC 的存活率为 79%。我们发现,新生儿和婴儿 NEC 结局的独立不良危险因素是肠穿孔、感染、腹壁红斑和急性肾损伤的发生。
我们强调了在这组患者中,手术和保守治疗方法的价值,以及谨慎的管理。
