Conditions
Summary
The goal of this project is to identify neonates who are predisposed to Necrotizing Enterocolitis (NEC). the investigators will determine the effectiveness of non-invasive measures as well as biochemical markers to identify neonates early in the disease process. Thus, the investigators aim to identify infants with NEC prior to the onset of symptoms to institute or test treatments in the long term to prevent the progression of the disease in these infants.
