Background Advances in the perinatal and neonatal cares have brought about considerable reductions in the neonatal mortality. The present study aimedto determine the disease patterns, outcomes and factors influencing the neonatal mortality in single neonatal intensive care unit. Materials and Methods This descriptive research was retrospective and cross-sectional in type. The study population e...

introduction: one of the most important criteria for health is neonatal mortality. mortality in neonatal period is high, that is about 65% of mortality in infancy occurs below the age of one year. this study was conducted to determine mortality rate in neonates in motazedi hospital of kermanshah during 2002 to 2003. materials & methods: this descriptive study was conducted on the dead neonates ...

INTRODUCTION In low income and middle income countries, neonatal mortality remains high despite the gradual reduction in under five mortality. Newborn death contributes for about 38% of all under five deaths. This study has identified the magnitude and independent predictors of neonatal mortality in rural Ethiopia. METHODS This population based nested case control study was conducted in rural...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the association between the spatial distribution of neonatal mortality and living conditions, and to analyze trends in the social inequalities, related to this mortality, in Salvador, Bahia, Brazil, 2000 - 2006. METHODS The city's Information Zones, the unit of analysis used in this study, were grouped into strata reflecting high, intermediate, low and very low living co...

background: morbidity and mortality of preterm babies are important issues in perinatal medicine. in developed countries, preterm delivery is the cause of about 70% of mortality and 75% of morbidity in the neonatal period, respectively. objective: the aim of this study was to determine the risk factors for preterm labor and the outcomes, in terms of perinatal mortality and morbidity at the time...

Introduction: Measuring the patient mortality rate is the most important indicator for the evaluation of healthcare capabilities in intensive care units in hospitals and health systems. This study aims to investigate the impact of the socio economic status of households on premature infant mortality in hospitals affiliated to the Tehran University of Medical Sciences. <st...

Objective. The WHO estimates that 99% of the 3.8 million neonatal deaths occur in developing countries. Neonatal resuscitation training was implemented in Namitete, Malawi. The study's objective was to evaluate the training's impact on hospital staff and neonatal mortality rates. Study Design. Pre-/postcurricular surveys of trainee attitude, knowledge, and skills were analyzed. An observational...

  Septicemia in neonates is the commonest cause of mortality. Early recognition and diagnosis of neonatal sepsis remains a challenge because of the variable and nonspecific clinical presentation. The laboratory criteria are often non specific and not fully reliable. The objective of this review is to highlight the various hematological and biological markers of neonatal sepsis. We searched ...

Infant and child mortality is a health indicator of society in general, and a significant number of these deaths occurs at Neonatal Intensive Care Units. Efforts aimed at preventing infant and child mortality are effective only if based on reasonably reliable information regarding death-related factors. Information is required on risk factors leading to such outcomes in order to prioritize inte...

To investigate the rate and time trends of neonatal mortality from 1997 to 2014 in Shenyang, which were previously rarely reported upon by developing countries, data on 4719 neonatal deaths (0-28 days) and 970,583 live births from the Shenyang Women and Children Health Care Centre were analyzed. Neonatal mortality rates (per 1000 live births), percent change, and annual percent change (APC) wer...
