Popis: | Reports indicate that for preterm infants intestinal perforation (IP) is an emerging disease (Acta Ped 1996). Others quote high mortality (48%) with NEC and perforation (Surgery 1996) but no specific cause is delineated. Recently, we experienced an increased incidence of IP in ELBW infants. |
