Summary

To assess the value of peripheral blood neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR), serum levels of γ-Glutamyl transferase (GGT), total serum bilirubin and serum calcium (Ca2+) concentrations for early diagnosis and prediction of NEC severity and if found significant, scoring will be done according to their levels in different Bell's stages.
