Pediatrics In Review, 2017
Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is a frequently encountered condition in the premature neonate, which can have devastating effects. The signs and symptoms of NEC are variable and can be confused with those of sepsis. An abdominal radiograph is often obtained for diagnosis, and findings that indicate NEC include pneumatosis and portal venous gas.

Annual Review of Medicine, 2006
Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) remains a major cause of neonatal morbidity and death. The pathophysiology is poorly understood. Prevailing evidence suggests that NEC is due to an inappropriate inflammatory response of the immature gut to some undefined insult.

Acta Paediatrica, 2008
In necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) the small (most often distal) and/or large bowel becomes injured, develops intramural air, and may progress to frank necrosis with perforation. Even with early, aggressive treatment, the progression of necrosis, which is highly characteristic of NEC, can lead to sepsis and death.

Hospital Medicine, 2004
Necrotizing enterocolitis is the principal cause of surgical referral in preterm neonates and the most common gastrointestinal emergency among infants. Its pathophysiology is unclear and it carries high levels of mortality and morbidity. This article provides an overview of necrotizing enterocolitis including risk factors, preventative strategies and ...

AbstractNecrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is an acute inflammatory disease of the intestine which primarily affects preterm infants and is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in the neonatal intensive care unit. From a clinical standpoint, and during the early course of the disease, NEC can be difficult to distinguish from other diseases and ...

Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is the most common acquired gastrointestinal disease of premature neonates and is a serious cause of morbidity and mortality. NEC is one of the leading causes of death in neonatal intensive care units. Surgical treatment is necessary in patients whose disease progresses despite medical therapy.

Current Opinion in Pediatrics, 1998
Necrotizing enterocolitis is a relatively common disorder of unknown etiology that primarily affects premature newborns. The majority of babies with necrotizing enterocolitis respond to nonsurgical management, and, despite an increase in the number of premature infants, the surgical mortality rate has improved.

Necrotizing enterocolitis: An update
Seminars in Fetal and Neonatal Medicine, 2011Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is a leading cause of death among patients in the neonatal intensive care unit, carrying a mortality rate of 15-30%. Its pathogenesis is multifactorial and involves an overreactive response of the immune system to an insult. This leads to increased intestinal permeability, bacterial translocation, and sepsis.

Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is the most serious and frequently acquired gastrointestinal disorder in neonates. The pathogenesis of NEC is unknown, but it may result from a disturbance of the delicate balance among gastrointestinal perfusion, enteric organisms, and enteral feeding.
