Article Synopsis
- The study reviewed necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) cases in full-term neonates on Reunion Island from 2000 to 2012, finding that 12.4% of NEC cases were in full-term infants born at a mean gestational age of 36.8 weeks.
- The majority of cases had identifiable underlying causes, with surgery needed in 37.5% of patients and a high overall survival rate of 88.8%.
- The onset of NEC in full-term infants was later than what literature suggests but still earlier than in premature infants, indicating the need for further research to understand this condition better and reduce mortality.
