title: [Logistic regression analysis of high-risk factors for neonatal incarcerated hernia with intestinal necrosis].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To investigate the high-risk factors for neonatal incarcerated hernia with intestinal necrosis by logistic regression analysis.
  
  
  METHODS
  Retrospective analysis was performed on the clinical data of 131 neonates with incarcerated oblique inguinal hernia containing the intestine. Of the 131 cases, 14 suffered from intestinal necrosis. The high risk factors for neonatal incarcerated hernia with intestinal necrosis were determined by logistic regression analysis.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Manual reduction after incarceration (>2 times) (χ2 = 69.289, P<0.01), incarceration history (>2 times) (χ2 = 84.731, P<0.01), and mesentery incarceration (χ2 = 80.233, P<0.01) were the high-risk factors for neonatal incarcerated hernia with intestinal necrosis.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Intestinal necrosis tends to occur in neonates with incarcerated hernia who have incarceration or received manual reduction more than twice and suffer from mesentery incarceration. Manual reduction is prohibited for these cases, which should be surgically treated immediately.
