Abstract
Placental disease predisposes the severely growth-restricted neonate to necrotizing enterocolitis. Even when arterial and venous Doppler variables are taken into consideration, birthweight remains the predominant risk factor for NEC. Further research should focus on the critical transition to neonatal life to identify relevant triggers in predisposed neonates.
