Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is a leading cause of infant mortality and the most common reason for emergent surgery in very low birth weight (VLBW, <1500g) infants. We investigated whether transfer for higher level of surgical care affects mortality in this population. VLBW infants who underwent NEC surgery were retrospectively reviewed from the California Patient Discharge Linked Birth Cohort Database (1999–2007). Transfer for emergent surgery was defined as surgery ≤2d after transfer. Mortality was analyzed with multivariate logistic regression. Overall, 1,272 VLBW infants with surgical NEC were identified with a 39% mortality. Transfer for surgery occurred in 406 (32%) infants. Unadjusted mortality was not increased for infants transferred versus not transferred, 37% vs. 40% (p=0.25). Adjusted mortality for infants transferred for surgery did not differ from those who received surgery at their primary NICU (OR 0.75, 95% CI 0.42–1.32). Lower birth weight, lack of prenatal care, peritoneal drainage as sole surgical intervention, and pulmonary interstitial emphysema/pulmonary hemorrhage were associated with increased odds of mortality (p<0.05). VLBW infants with surgical NEC do not demonstrate increased risk of mortality when transferred emergently for surgery. Future efforts must engage health professionals caring for this vulnerable population in order to maximize resource allocation and safety.
