The NEC STEPS study is a multi-center randomized clinical trial to determine the optimal surgical management for neonates diagnosed with perforated Necrotizing Enterocolitis. The efficacy of laparotomy and peritoneal drainage as primary therapy will be compared, with outcomes determined from mortality, length of hospital stay and cost of care data. Presently, there are twelve medical centers throughout North America participating in this study. Details with respect to participating sites can be found on the website's map page.
