Abstract:
In this case controls prospective study, risk factors for necrotizing enterocolitis from a neonatal intensive care unit, were investigated. In 34 cases and 69 controls, were found; the fetal distress, Apgar score < or = 5 at one minute, < or = 6 at five minutes, gestational age < or = 34 weeks and birth weight < or = 1500 g, like risk factors for necrotizing enterocolitis. The investigation of a new risk factor, abdominal distention with plentiful intestinal gas documented in X ray at initial hours of life, by energetic reanimation at birth, showed that it is not a risk factor.
