The evaluation of our newborns cases operated due to necrotizing enterocolitis

Aim: This study aimed to investigate the characteristics of newborns operated due to necrotizing enterecolitis (NEC) in newborn intensive care unit and to evaluate the mortality of these patients.Material and Methods: The research was designed retrospectively. The study included 39 patients operated due to NEC in our newborn intensive care unit between January 2010 and December 2015 and their characteristic factors and prognosis were evaluated.Results: The average gestational age and weight at birth of the newborns were 31.5±3.7 weeks, 1861±817 g respectively. There were significant differences between the newborns who died and survived in respect to birth weight, age at the time of operation, presence of antenatal steroid application, hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy, intestinal presence of perforation, blood culture positivity (p
