Background
Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is an acquired gastrointestinal disease associated with significant morbidity and mortality in
premature neonates. The incidence is 5-10%, more than 90% in preterm neonates and 10-15% in aterm neonates. Mortality rate
is 10-50 %. The pathogenesis is not well understood.
Objective
To determine the risk factors and outcome of NEC neonates admitted to neonatology unit of M. Djamil hospital Padang
Method
A retrospective study conducted towards NEC neonates from Jan-Dec 2015. Data was collected and analyzed from medical
record i.e gestational age, birthweight, birth method, enteral feeding history, intestinal ischemia risk, clinical sign, supporting
examination (laboratorium and radiology) and outcome.
Result
Table 1. Characteristic of sample Table 3. Risk factors aterm vs preterm babies
Conclusion
The most common risk factors of NEC in our study are preterm and low
birthweight, and sepsis was the most common risk factor in aterm
neonates.
Outcome was not related with birthweight, gestational age, intestinal
ischemia risk, and radiologic appeareance
