This paper is published in the journal of perinatology. It's called variability in antibiotic duration for necrotizing enterocolitis and outcomes in a large multi-center cohort. The median antibiotic duration was 12 days for medical neck and 17 days for surgical neck. And the interquartile range are quite high, like 12 days with a range of 9 to 17 and 17 day for surgical with a rangeof 14 to 22. So sometimes, you know, sometimes I think we give too much antibiotics,. but I thought I was going to see lower numbers, because I'm surprised we still give that much antibiotic.
