The clinical features, management, and outcome of 36 babies with necrotizing enterocolitis seen over 5 years at the Neonatal Unit, Mount Hope Women's Hospital, Trinidad, are described. The crude overall mortality rate was 25 per cent The results suggest that prematurity, sepsis, and umbilical catheterization, but not enteral feeding or polycythaemia may be involved in the aetiology of this disease.
