New scan could speed up diagnosis for sickest infants
NCT ID NCT05573113
Summary
This study tested whether adding a special type of ultrasound to the standard X-ray helps doctors diagnose necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC), a dangerous gut disease in premature babies. It involved 169 infants in neonatal intensive care units. The goal was to see if this combined approach leads to faster, more accurate decisions, helping babies get back to feeding sooner and reducing unnecessary treatments.
