 PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT 8 Neonatal necrotizing enterocolitis associated risk factors [Keywords:] neonatal necrotizing enterocolitis [Abstract] Objective The objective of this study was to explore the risk factors which can cause neonatal necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC, and to provide the useful information for NEC prevention.Methods 30 NEC neonatal patients who were treated in our hospital during January 2004 to January 2007 were selected as the case group, while 30 healthy babies who were born in the same duration were selected as the control group.The data were analyzed with the Logistic regression.Results Pregnancy induced hypertension and diabetes of mother, premature delivery, pneumonia, brain disease induced by lack of blood and oxygen, sclerema neonatorum, hepothermia, asphyxia, blood poisoning were the risk factors.Breast feeding was the protective factors.The less of the born weight and Apgar score were, the higher of the NEC risk was.Conclusion The keys of prevention NEC were to reduce the incidence rate of the premature delivery and asphyxia, to control infection and feed baby in correct way. [Keywords:] necrotizing enterocolitis; risk factors Neonatal necrotizing enterocolitis (necrotizing enterocolitis, NEC is a common neonatal acute abdomen, clinical abdominal distention, vomiting, diarrhea and blood in the stool as the main clinical manifestations. Although mortality has declined in recent years, it is still premature newborns, especially children currently leading cause of death in early [1]. on the etiology of NEC is not very clear so far, the main purpose of this study is the NEC of our hospital were analyzed in children with history, and health over the same period the control group infants, major risk factors of NEC for further targeted prevention NEC, provide the basis for reducing its incidence. 1 Subjects and methods 1.1 The object of study chosen in January 2004 ~ January 2007 in our hospital treatment of 30 cases of neona
