    Snippet: Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is an emergency gastrointestinal disease in neonates due to mucosal or transmural necrosis of the bowel. About 7% to 13% of all very low birth weight (VLBW) infants admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) develop NEC, with a mortality range of 10% to 44% [1] [2] [3] , and both the incidence and mor tality rate increase with decreasing birth weight and gestational age (GA). Intestine immaturity, birth as.....
    Document: Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is an emergency gastrointestinal disease in neonates due to mucosal or transmural necrosis of the bowel. About 7% to 13% of all very low birth weight (VLBW) infants admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) develop NEC, with a mortality range of 10% to 44% [1] [2] [3] , and both the incidence and mor tality rate increase with decreasing birth weight and gestational age (GA). Intestine immaturity, birth asphyxia, low appearance, pulse, grimace, activity, and respiration (Apgar) score, intestinal ischemic change due to umbilical artery catheterization, viruses (rotavirus, coronavirus, and en tero virus), infection from coagulase-negative Staphylococcus or Clostridium difficile, and early rapid feeding are cause of NEC [4] [5] [6] . Some reports have indicated an association between red blood cell (RBC) transfusion (RBC(t)) and NEC, but this is controversial [7] [8] [9] [10] . In this study, we analyzed the association between NEC and RBC(t) in VLBW preterm infants.
