Article Synopsis
- Necrotising enterocolitis (NEC) is a serious illness affecting preterm infants, and this study aimed to investigate the relationship between gastric residuals (GR) and the occurrence of NEC in extremely preterm infants.
- The study found that while the maximum volume of gastric residuals (GRV) was higher in infants with NEC, it was not significantly associated, but there was a notable increase in the incidence of green and blood-stained GRs 24 hours before NEC diagnosis.
- The authors suggest that further research is needed to confirm these findings, emphasizing the need for more prospective studies.
