730 low birth weight (LBW) neonates and 1460 controls were selected from 13,123 neonates born from October 1988 to June 1989 in 17 hospitals and maternity units in Tehran, and were compared for mortality in the first seven and up to 28 days of life (early neonatal period). In this study all low birth weight newborns are divided according to four sub-groups of birth weight, and the mortalit...

Introduction : 99% of 4million neonatal mortality occur in developing countries every year. Mortality rate of newborns accounts for 18.3 per 1000 live birth that comprised 69% of IMR and 56% of Under 5 mortality in IRAN. A  Comparison of statistical trend between infant and newborn rate from 1988 to 2001 revealed a considerable decrease in IMR but slightly decrease in NMR. training postnatal mo...

background: neonatal infections are one of the major causes of death in iran. since identifying the risk factors, types, site, bacterial causes, and case fatality rate of an infection can be effective in selecting preventive and therapeutic methods, and appropriate supportive measures, this study aimed to investigate the aforementioned factors in the neonatal intensive care unit (nicu) of ghaem...

background: neonatal deaths mostly occur within the first one week and first 24 hours of life from a variety of conditions. objective: to examine the role of significant hypothermia and hypoglycaemia, in addition to some other factors, in neonatal mortality occurring within the first 24 hours of admission.methods: a prospective study of newborn infants hospitalized within the first 24 hours of ...

Background: Neonatal mortality remains a public health concern in developing countries such as Burkina Faso. Improving the survival rate of newborns requires a good knowledge of the current situation. This study aimed at determining the risk factors for neonatal mortality in the Neonatology Department of Saint Camille Hospital of Ouagadougou (HOSCO - Hôpital Saint ...

Background & aim: Neonatal mortality rate (NMR) is an important health index, which reflects the socio-economic and health status of a community. According to the literature, almost 20% of NMR can be prevented through the implementation of simple resuscitative interventions. This study was conducted to review the neonatal outcomes and resuscitation rate of neonates.<br...

  Introduction: Neonatal mortality rate is an important index of development in different communities and respiratory distress syndrome is one of the important causes. This study aimed to determine the status and effective demographic  factors of neonatal mortality due to respiratory distress syndrome  in Rural Area of Ahvaz city Iran. Method: It was a case control study of all neonatal death ...

BACKGROUND Perinatal, foetal and neonatal mortality statistics are important to show the development of a health care system in a country. However, in our country there are very few national and regional data about the changing pattern of perinatal neonatal mortality along with the development of new technologies in this area. AIMS Evaluation of the changes in mortality rates and the causes o...
