Surgeons’ views on infant bowel disease decisions
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study interviews surgeons who treat infants with a serious bowel condition called necrotising enterocolitis (NEC). Researchers want to understand how surgeons make decisions and how babies do afterward.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your baby is suspected or diagnosed with NEC (a severe gut infection).
- A surgeon has been asked to review your baby.
- The surgeon agrees to be interviewed.
- You (the parent or guardian) agree to let researchers follow your baby’s progress.

This study looks at the long-term health of very preterm infants who had a serious gut condition called necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) or a bowel perforation between 2008 and 2013. Researchers will compare their development to similar infants without these conditions to understand long-term outcomes.
This study looks at newborns (up to 28 days old) who have urgent stomach or intestinal problems needing immediate treatment. Researchers want to understand what types of emergencies happen most often and how babies fare after treatment.
This study looks at how the intestines grow and develop in both premature and full-term babies. It involves collecting small tissue samples during a baby's already-planned surgery or scope procedure to better understand normal development and digestive diseases.
This study tests an investigational drug called ST266 in babies with necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC), a serious gut infection. The goal is to see if it is safe and can help heal the bowel.
This study looks at whether newborns with necrotizing enterocolitis (a serious bowel infection) develop allergies differently than healthy newborns. Researchers will compare allergen sensitivity between babies who had this condition and those who didn't, to better understand how the illness affects the immune system.
This study looks at whether giving probiotics (good bacteria) to very premature babies (born before 32 weeks) can lower the risk of a serious gut problem called necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC). The researchers will review medical records of babies born between 2016 and 2022 in England and Wales.
