Predicting surgical NEC in neonates: risk factors and model development
This study established a nomogram-based predictive model for surgical treatment in NEC, utilizing six indicators: CRP, serum lactate, portal venous gas, reduced intestinal motility, white blood cell count, and absolute lymphocyte count. The model shows high accuracy and clinical utility. It can assist clinicians in predicting the need for surgery at the early stages of NEC, optimizing treatment decisions, reducing mortality, and improving the prognosis of affected neonates.
