Despite the clinical relevance of necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC), it remains difficult to predict which preterm infants are more likely to develop NEC.

We aimed to identify maternal risk factors associated with the subsequent development of NEC in very preterm infants and to determine whether the placental inflammatory lesions were related to the NEC.
