The cumulative incidence of necrotising enterocolitis (NEC) from date of birth stratified by epoch. Risk table shows the number of cases still at risk with each passing week from birth, as well as the cumulative numbers of those diagnosed with NEC, who died without a diagnosis of NEC, or who were discharged home without a diagnosis of NEC. One NEC case was censored in this time-to-event analysis, a baby born in the month before 1 January 2013 who developed NEC after that date, leaving 34 cases in the pre-probiotics epoch and 16 cases in the routine probiotics epoch included.
