WB2442 Toward Evidence-Based Prevention & Diagnosis of NEC in the Neonate Course
WB2442 Toward Evidence-Based Prevention & Diagnosis of NEC in the Neonate Course is organized by National Certification Corporation (NCC).
The Course has been Approved for a Maximum of Contact Hours: 5
Expiration: 12/31/2024
Content Outline:
• Prevention of Necrotizing Enterocolitis (NEC)
• Identifying Biomarkers of Necrotizing Enterocolitis
Objectives:
• Recognize that the burden of necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) as a disease is best addressed through prevention rather than response to often catastrophic complications
• Discuss the suggested implications and potential impact of select neonatal intensive care unit practices on disease course and outcomes related to necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) as a result of care provided to preterm neonates
• Explain the significant role that ideal diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers could play in identifying and differentiating classical necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) from other non-NEC conditions
• Outline the challenges encountered in identification of ideal biomarkers and describe current findings regarding potential serum, urine, and fecal biomarkers
• Summarize the transcriptomic, proteomic, and metabolomic studies described in the evaluation of potential markers for diagnosing NEC
