Objective: The aim of the present study was to investigate the influence of enteral feeding management on occurrences of necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) in very-low-birth-weight (VLBW) infants.Methods: This was a case-control study conducted in a sample of 1028 VLBW infants (750 to 1499 g) admitted to a neonatal intensive care unit between January 2003 and May 2008. "Cases" were infants born with VLBW and diagnosed with NEC within the first 30 days of life, and "controls" were VLBW infants who did not develop NEC during this period. Occurrences of NEC were defined using the modified Bell criteria (stage >= 2).Results: Among the 1028 VLBW infants, 55 (5.4%) developed NEC within the first month of life. Logistic regression analysis showed that breast milk given exclusively for
