ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the risk factors of neonatal necrotizing enterocolitis(NEC)and assess the effect of prophylactic use of probiotics(Bifico)in prevention of NEC and observe changes of weight.Methods Five hundred and twenty-four cases of prematures who were inpatients were divided into 2 groups randomly(prevention group,n=276,no-prevention group,n=248)and the morbidity of NEC and the increase of eight during hospitalization were observed.A case-control study and conditional Logistic regression model multifactorial analysis were made to 20 cases NEC neonates and 80 cases non-NEC neonates.Results The prevention group(276 cases)had 5 cases of NEC and the average weight increase was(8.114?8.137)g/d,the no-prevention group 248 cases had 17 cases of NEC,and the average weight increase was(6.595?5.337)g/d.The occure rate of NEC in prevention group was significantly lower than that of no-prevention group(?2=5.57 P
