Kim (a) Keywords: Necrotizing enterocolitis; Perforation; SNAPPE score Abstract: Only a handful of clinical parameters other than body weight are used in managing LBW newborns with perforated necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC). Here, we determined clinical use of score for neonatal acute physiology-perinatal extension (SNAPPE II) score in the surgical decision, peritoneal drain (PD) vs PD + laparotomy in low birth weight (LBW) newborns with perforated NEC.
