In brief
Study investigating cerebral oxygenation patterns in preterm infants who develop necrotizing enterocolitis versus those who do not, exploring potential mechanisms linking NEC to adverse neurodevelopmental outcomes. Research examines 48 infants to identify early physiologic markers that may explain the known association between NEC and brain injury.
Written by the GCMD Library team from the article.
Background and objectives: Preterm infants with necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) are known to have worse neurodevelopmental outcomes, but there is no substantial evidence to support an underlying pathophysiology. We aimed to examine whether cerebral oxygenation differs in those infants who develop NEC compared to cerebral oxygenation in those who do not. Methods: We examined 48 infants
