Quality Improvement Efforts Reduce Incidence of Surgical Necrotizing Enterocolitis and Related Deaths

This study demonstrates that systematic quality improvement initiatives successfully reduce the incidence of surgical necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) in neonates, leading to improved mortality outcomes. The findings highlight that while human milk feeding protocols impact NEC rates, they do not affect spontaneous intestinal perforation incidence.
