The condition typically affects infants who are born preterm or who are already sick, and it usually occurs before the newborn leaves the hospital. 1

The treatment for NEC varies with the severity of the disease and can include feeding through a tube, antibiotics, and emergency surgery.

Necrotizing Enterocolitis (NEC) Working Group of Council Among infants, enteral feeding practices—in which nutrients are delivered by mouth or directly to the stomach by feeding tube—may influence risk for NEC, a life-threatening gastrointestinal disease that primarily affects infants born preterm (before 37 weeks of pregnancy).

2024年9月5日 · formula) showed lower risk of NEC, with moderate certainty • Evidence for fortification of the base diet • Results have been mixed with recent trials showing no significant differences in rates of NEC between bovine- based vs. human- milk-based fortifiers. Trials have been too small with too few cases of definitive NEC to draw firm conclusions

According to a 2008 review of the evidence, all newborn infants born preterm (before 37 weeks of pregnancy) or born with a low birth weight (less than 2,500 grams, or about 5.5 pounds) are at increased risk for NEC.
