Abstract
Background
: Differences in morbidities between spontaneous intestinal perforation (SIP) and necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) are unknown.
Methods
: Prospectively collected multicenter data regarding very low birth weight (VLBW) infants 2015-2019 were analyzed. Diagnosis of SIP or NEC was laparotomy-confirmed in all patients. Multivariable regression modeling was used to assess adjusted length of stay (LOS; primary outcome) and adjusted risk ratios (ARR) for weight
