    Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) management has evolved, with earlier clinical diagnosis and aggressive medical treatment. This shift reduced mortality but increased late complications in infants.

    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric Gastroenterology
    • Neonatal Surgery
    • Clinical Medicine

    Background:

    • Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is a critical gastrointestinal emergency in neonates.
    • Treatment strategies and outcomes for NEC have historically varied.
    • Understanding temporal trends in NEC management is crucial for improving patient care.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To analyze changes in the clinical presentation, radiological findings, and management of necrotizing enterocolitis over a 4-year, 4-month period.
    • To evaluate the impact of these changes on mortality and complication rates.
    • To identify early diagnostic indicators and refine surgical indications for NEC.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective chart review of 80 patients treated for necrotizing enterocolitis.

  • Analysis of clinical data, radiological imaging, treatment modalities, and patient outcomes.
  • Comparison of findings across the study period to identify trends.

    • Main Results:

    • Earlier clinical diagnosis of NEC is now common, preceding paralytic ileus.
    • Bowel wall scalloping and loop separation are identified as early radiological signs.
    • Management shifted towards aggressive medical therapy with more selective surgical intervention.
    • These changes correlated with decreased mortality and increased late complications.

    Conclusions:

    • Modern management of necrotizing enterocolitis emphasizes early detection and conservative treatment.
    • Refined diagnostic criteria and surgical indications have improved survival rates.
    • Long-term surveillance is necessary due to an increase in late-term complications following NEC treatment.
