OVERVIEW

Uniting Providers and Patient-Families Towards NEC Prevention and Improved Outcomes is organized by NICUniversity.

Program Overview:
Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is an intestinal disease that primarily affects premature and medically fragile infants. NEC causes an inflammatory process that can lead to intestinal tissue damage and death.

This program discusses evidence from randomized trials and meta-analyses and different approaches that caregivers and families are using worldwide for the preventions and treatment of NEC.

This presentation was originally given during the 2019 NEC Symposium in Ann Arbor, MI. The symposium focused on breaking down the barriers of NEC prevention and treatment. It provided the setting for discovery, collaboration, and sustained partnerships on patient-centered research.

Additional details will be posted as soon as information is available.
