Early diagnosis and surgical.timing of necrotizing enterocolitis
Necrotizing enterocolitis(NEC)is a necrotizing inflammation of the intestine unique to the neonatal period,primarily affecting premature infants with a high fatality rate.Due to its inconspicuous initial clinical symptoms,early diagnosis can be challenging.In addition to relying on clinical manifestations and traditional diagnostic methods such as laboratory tests and imaging examinations,future research will focus on enhancing the accuracy of NEC's early diagnosis by integrating multiple biological markers.The clinicians should perform surgical intervention as soon as possible before perforation takes place or the condition worsens by identifying closely associated indicators in order to reduce mortality in children with NEC.
