NCT ID NCT07562009
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether premature infants who had necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) are more likely to develop allergies by age 2. Researchers will compare skin prick test results between 130 infants with and without NEC. The goal is to understand if NEC affects later allergy development.
