Abstract
Decision for OP should be based on the severity of NEC and not on the presence of PVG alone because nearly half of infants with PVG survive without OP. Overall, the presence of PVG does not increase the risk of mortality among infants with NEC. Severe NEC, but not OP, is associated with higher mortality.
