Meconium‐related ileus in extremely low birthweight infants: Growth and neurodevelopmental outcomes

Puntos clave

• The research aims to evaluate the impact of meconium-related ileus on growth and neurodevelopmental outcomes in extremely low birthweight infants.
• Analyzed growth and neurodevelopmental outcomes in extremely low birthweight infants
• Assessed the role of MRI in the establishment of enteral nutrition
• Compared outcomes with and without the intervention of MRI.
• MRI was linked to delays in starting enteral nutrition but not to adverse effects on growth
• No short-term or long-term negative impacts observed on neurodevelopment.
