Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is the most prevalent multifactorial gastrointestinal emergency and a leading cause of mortality amongst preterm neonate admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit. The disease progress rapidly once clinical signs are present thus increasing the likelihood of death. Identifying major risk factors associated with this disease can help determine who is most at risk and be given targeted early preventive action to increase survival rate. The purpose of this literature review is to provide a comprehensive NEC neonatal risk factor mapping for neonates in developing countries. By incorporating and elaborating upon existing research findings, this review aims to offer an extensive analysis of this crucial health problem.
