NEC - Incidence
1%-8% of all NICU’s admissions Mortality rate 10%-50% Mainly affects preterm infants (90%) ~ 10% in term infants Incidence increases as gestational and birth
weight decrease No gender, seasonal, socioeconomic
association

NEC - onset of disease
Endemic versus epidemic appearance Median days of onset at term: 2 days Median age at onset < 26 weeks: 23 days

Pathophysiology Prematurity Formula Feeding Bacterial colonization Intestinal Ischemia
![Page 5: NECROTIZING ENTEROCOLITIS Gadassi Noa MD. MPH.. NEC - Incidence 1%-8% of all NICU ’ s admissions Mortality rate 10%-50% Mainly affects preterm infants.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56649edb5503460f94beae2f/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Prematurity 90% of cases occur in preterm infants 10% of babies < 1500 gr The more preterm, the higher the risk The specific reason is not well undcerstood Immature gut:
Decreased mucus production Decreases gastrointestinal hormones Inappropriate cellular and humoral immune response to intestinal
pathogens (IgA, Neutrophil function, Macrophage activation, cytokine production and function)
Different blood flow autoregulation Decreased motility Bacterial colonization

Enteral feeding 90%-95% of NEC cases were exposed to
enteral feeding Feeding the preterm infant:
* When to start?* Rate? Cycling bolus vs continuous?* Volume?* Type of feeding? Formula?* Osmolarity?
![Page 8: NECROTIZING ENTEROCOLITIS Gadassi Noa MD. MPH.. NEC - Incidence 1%-8% of all NICU ’ s admissions Mortality rate 10%-50% Mainly affects preterm infants.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56649edb5503460f94beae2f/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Factors in Breast Milk that may Influence Pathophysiology of NEC
Neonatal antigen specific antibodies - IgA, IgG, IgM
Leukocytes Oligosacharides Polyunsaturated fatty
acids Lactoferrin Glutamine Arginine
Platelet activating factor acetylhydrolase
Epidermal growth factor
IL-10 Erythropoietin

Bacterial colonization / infection
The fetus has sterile intestinal invironment Commensal microflora (bacterial cells within the
intestine) vs. pathogenic bacteria Nutrition impact on colonization pattern:
Breastfeeding – Lactobacilli and BifidobacteriumFormula-fed – Enterobcteriaceae
Effect of composition of intestinal flora on intestinal homeostsis and epithelial development
Bacteremia occurs in ~ 20%-30% cases of NEC(gram+, gram-, anaerobes, viruses..)

Hypoxia-ischemia
Term neonates – conditions that compromise the intestinal blood flow: Polycytemia Birth asphyxia Exchange transfusion Congenital heart disease IUGR with reverse diastolic flow in the umbilical
artery
![Page 12: NECROTIZING ENTEROCOLITIS Gadassi Noa MD. MPH.. NEC - Incidence 1%-8% of all NICU ’ s admissions Mortality rate 10%-50% Mainly affects preterm infants.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56649edb5503460f94beae2f/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Hypoxia-ischemia Preterm neonates:
Prone to hypotension events Prone to hemodynamic stress: active PDA, PDA
Tx, umbilical catheters Imbalanced intestinal perfusion
Impaired intestinal circulatory autoregulation Immature intestinal vasomotor tone Coagulation necrosis

Onset
Age
• Preterm infants (90%) > Term infants (10%).
• Term infants develop NEC much earlier than preterm.
