Impact of nighttime versus daytime emergency surgery on the outcome of necrotising enterocolitis
Background Necrotising enterocolitis (NEC) is the most common neonatal gastrointestinal surgical emergency, with a high mortality. We hypothesised that nighttime (NT) surgery was associated with higher mortality, intra-operative adverse events (AE) and post operative complications. Objectives To …
