Questions About Early Enteral Feeding Study
Keyword(s):
To the Editor.— We were amazed at the report on the incidence of necrotizing enterocolitis and feeding practice (Pediatrics 1986;77:275-280). The rate of necrotizing enterocolitis in both groups of patients is astronomical and yet acceptable to the authors. During a 2-year period in our neonatal intensive care unit, the incidence of necrotizing enterocolitis was 9/1,114 admissions (0.08%). The incidence in infants with birth weights less than 1,500 g was 8/159 (3.08%); for infants with birth weights less than 1,000 g it was 3/101 (2.9%).
