Risk of necrotizing enterocolitis in very-low-birth-weight infants with isolated atrial and ventricular septal defects

Risk of necrotizing enterocolitis in very-low-birth-weight infants with isolated atrial and ventricular septal defects

Objective: Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is associated with a significant morbidity and mortality in premature infants. We sought to identify the frequency of NEC in very-low-birth-weight infants with isolated ventricular septal defects (VSDs) or atrial septal defects (ASDs) using a large multicen...
