NCT ID NCT07249697
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked back at 118 newborns with necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC), a serious gut disease, to find early warning signs of severe complications or death. Researchers analyzed birth details, symptoms, blood tests, and organ function scores to see if combining these factors could better predict poor outcomes. The goal is to help doctors identify high-risk babies sooner and improve care.
