Characterizing Cardiac Necrotizing Enterocolitis Within a Single Medical Center A Retrospective Electronic Data Review Öffentlichkeit
Cooke, Tori (Fall 2024)
Abstract
Neonates with certain clinical diagnoses, like congenital heart disease (CHD) are at an increased risk for developing necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC). Certain risk factors associated with congenital heart disease also contribute to a patient’s risk for cardiac NEC. Cardiac necrotizing enterocolitis is diagnosed using clinical and radiological signs. The severity of and treatment for NEC is determined by Bell’s Staging Criteria. The diagnosis of NEC in the CHD population can have an impact on patient outcomes. CHD patients diagnosed with NEC can have impaired neurodevelopment, increased hospital costs and length of stay, and develop other comorbidities. This retrospective electronic data review characterized cardiac NEC within a single medical center. While the initial intent was to examine risk factors associated with the development of cardiac necrotizing enterocolitis, diagnostic and treatment approaches, and patient outcomes, the data provided by the electronic data warehouse could not be used to characterize these factors. The project focused on characterizing patients with cardiac NEC and associations between diagnoses and demographic factors.
