Children with surgical NEC w/o late bacteremia were at increased risk of PDI <70 (OR = 2.7 [1.2, 6.4]), and children with both surgical NEC and late bacteremia were at increased risk of DP CP (OR = 8.4 [1.9, 39]) and MC (OR = 9.3 [2.2, 40]). In contrast, all children with medical NEC were not at increased risk of developmental dysfunction.
