Background :Reduction of neonatal mortality rate can improve health and newborn status of the society. This study was done to evaluate the prevalence and patternof causes for neonatal mortality in Gorgan, North of Iran.   Methods: this descriptive, cross-sectional study was carried out on all birth in the maternity Dezyani hospital in Gorgan, North of Iran during 1 September 2008 -31 March 20...

This retrospective study analyzed the temporal association between socioeconomic development indices and improved maternal, neonatal, and perinatal survival in the State of Qatar over a period of 35 years (1974-2008). We explored the association between reduction in poverty, improvement in maternal education, and perinatal health care on the one hand, and increased maternal, neonatal, and perin...

OBJECTIVE To determine whether a women's group intervention involving participatory learning and action has a sustainable and replicable effect on neonatal survival in rural, eastern India. METHODS From 2004 to 2011, births and neonatal deaths in 36 geographical clusters in Jharkhand and Odisha were monitored. Between 2005 and 2008, these clusters were part of a randomized controlled trial of...

Background Preterm birth is the most important factor in neonatal morbidity and mortality. In the case of pregnancy with assisted reproductive technology (ART) we have more percentage of multiple pregnancies which is a strong reason for preterm birth and low birth weight so suggested that ART can affect neonatal outcomes. In this article we searched about neonatal outcomes in ART pregnancies. M...

A secular milestone is approached by the world in line of reaching Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). After December 2015, a new of flexible and global Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) were set, replace MDGs by SDGs. Infant mortality rate (IMR) is a pivotal indicator of development in a given country that embedded in Millennium Development Goal (MDG).  After that in manner of strong clini...

OBJECTIVE To analyze the trend and spatial distribution of infant mortality from congenital malformations in Argentina between 2002 and 2006. MATERIALS AND METHODS Data were provided by the Ministry of Public Health. Congenital malformations were classified according to the International Classification of Diseases, 10th revision. Early neonatal, late neonatal and postneonatal infant mortality...

OBJECTIVE To estimate neonatal mortality, particularly within 24 hours of birth, in six low- and lower-middle-income countries. METHODS We analysed epidemiological data on a total of 149 570 live births collected between 2007 and 2013 in six prospective randomized trials and a cohort study from predominantly rural areas of Bangladesh, Ghana, India, Pakistan, the United Republic of Tanzania an...

Neonatal Mortality Rate (NMR) can be defined as the number of newborn deaths’ aged 0 to 28 days. The most significant factor influenced NMR is low birth weight of newborn babies approximately 48%, followed by asphyxia 37% and sepsis 32.5%. This paper deploys a Burr XII distribution to model the Non-Normal Neonatal Weight data. The parameters of the fitted Burr XII distribution are estimated usi...

There are two markers in the evaluation of perinatal medicine, i.e. they are the maternal mortality rate (maternal death rate per 100,000 births) (X) and perinatal mortality rate (still births and early neonatal death within 1 week in 1,000 births) (Y). The maternal mortality is discussed before perinatal mortality in this paper, because the perinatal mortality closely correlated to maternal mo...

BACKGROUND In Cameroon, sustainable effort needs to be done to reduce the current neonatal mortality rate from 21 deaths per 1000 live births to the global target of fewer than ten deaths per 1000 live births by 2035. We aimed to determine the neonatal hospital mortality rate and predictors of neonatal hospital mortality (NHM) in a major referral sub-urban hospital of Cameroon in a bit to formu...
