BACKGROUND: Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is an inflammatory intestinal disease that primarily affects premature infants and is a major cause of death in the neonatal period. Approximately half of the affected infants require surgical intervention,...
BACKGROUND: Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is one of the most common diseases that pose serious threats to the life of newborns. In clinical practice, NEC is typically treated by surgical intervention, but it is still difficult to identify the timin...

BackgroundIn cases of surgical necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC), the choice between laparotomy (LAP) or comfort care (CC) presents a complex, ethical dilemma. A behavioral artificial intelligence technology (BAIT) decision aid was trained on expert kn...
BACKGROUND: Radiographic diagnosis of necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is challenging. Deep learning models may improve accuracy by recognizing subtle imaging patterns. We hypothesized it would perform with comparable accuracy to that of senior surgic...
Early prediction of surgical necrotizing enterocolitis (sNEC) in preterm infants is important. However, owing to the complexity of the disease, identifying infants with NEC at a high risk for surgical intervention is difficult. We developed a machine...
BACKGROUND: Acquired neonatal intestinal diseases have an array of overlapping presentations and are often labeled under the dichotomous classification of necrotizing enterocolitis (which is poorly defined) or spontaneous intestinal perforation, hind...
