Study Summary
The overall primary objective is to establish the feasibility and pilot the design and delivery of a diagnostic randomized controlled trial (RCT) of BUS (bowel ultrasound) for NEC evaluation which will lead to a successful application for a larger, multi-center clinical trial in the future. This program of research is anticipated to have a significant positive impact in the timely and accurate diagnosis of NEC in preterm infants.
Primary Outcome
Evaluate the difference between medical and surgical management between study arms. Medical management is defined as subjects whom did not undergo surgery for their NEC diagnosis. Surgical management is defined as subjects that had a surgical intervention for the NEC diagnosis. Please note that the study was terminated due to low enrollment numbers, thus statistically relevant and applicable numbers cannot be generated from this small study sample.
