Of the estimated 130 million infants born each year worldwide,1 4 million die in the first 28 days of life. Three-quarters of neonatal deaths occur in the first week, and more than one-quarter occur in the first 24 hours.1,2 Neonatal deaths account for 40% of deaths under the age of 5 years worldwide. This study was descriptive-analytical prospective one and the population of the study included all infants hospitalized in NICU of maternity and children teaching hospital in aldiwaniah governorate from first of  September 2013  to the end  of august 2014.  About 1644 neonate  patients was  admitted to the neonatal care unit directly either from the labor room or from the operation room and the neonate only in contact with health personnel ; from those we study all  193  hospitalized neonates that  died due to different causes. In this study, of 1466 neonates , were hospitalized in NICU (neonatal intensive care unit ) in maternity and children teaching hospital from first of  September  2013 through  august  2014 ;  from which 193 ( 13.1%  )cases were died . A total of 193infants died in the hospital form which 64.25%  were male and ( 35.75% )of them were female. ; 36.8% of them were full term  and 63.2 % were premature . the most common cause of the neonatal death were the RDS (respiratory distress syndrome) 93 (48.1%) and the second most common cause were the complication of prematurity other than the RDS which form55( 28.4%  ). The birth asphyxia, congenital anomalies and sepsis represent 15 ( 7.7 %  ),  8 (4.1%) , 11 ( 5.6% ) respectively. the meconium aspiration syndrome mainly in postmature infant represent about 9 (4.6 % )and miscellaneous causes( hydrops fetalis and intraventriculer haemorrhage and congenital heart disease ) was 3  ( 1.5 %) .  The common cause of neonatal death was sever immaturity with its complications and mainly the respiratory distress syndrome. Almost the death occur in premature and LBW babies. We can prevent of born these babies by high quality prenatal care. The study proves the relations between certains maternal and neonatal factors and neonatal mortality; since low-weight premature infants are at more risk of dying in infancy, it is suggested that pregnant mothers should be placed under the required cares to avoid the birth of premature infants as possible.

O Método Mãe Canguru (MC) é destinado ao atendimento do recém-nascido prematuro de baixo peso, e visa fortalecer o vínculo mãe-filho, aumentar a competência e a confiança dos pais no cuidado do bebê e incentivar a prática da amamentação. O objetivo do estudo foi demonstrar as evidências que apontam o uso de Método Canguru (MC) como uma alternativa aos cuidados neonatais, enfocando seus benefícios e avaliando se o método reduz a morbidade e mortalidade em neonatos de baixo peso. Trata-se de uma pesquisa descritiva, realizada a partir de um levantamento bibliográfico nas bases de dados BDEnf, Lilacs, SciELO e BIREME, considerando o período de 2000 a 2016. Foram analisados artigos sobre o Método Canguru (MC) e a redução da morbimortalidade neonatal. O estudo evidenciou que o Método Mãe Canguru (MC) reduz as taxas tanto de mortalidade como morbidade neonatal, porém demonstrou que existem poucos estudos referentes a este tema. O Método Mãe Canguru (MC) demonstrou ser mais que uma alternativa para países de baixa renda, nos quais faltam incubadoras ou salas de atendimento neonatal, constituindo-se, também, uma estratégia com múltiplas vantagens para o recém-nascido, tanto o prematuro quanto o nascido a termo. Destacou-se a eficácia do método na diminuição da morbimortalidade do neonato com baixo peso. Os estudos sobre mortalidade e morbidade do Método Mãe-Canguru (MC), em países de baixa e média renda, concluíram que o Método Mãe Canguru (MC) reduz, substancialmente, a mortalidade neonatal em bebês nascidos antes do termo com baixo peso em hospitais. Palavras-chave: Morbimortalidade Neonatal.

Recém-Nascido de Baixo Peso. Abstract: The Kangaroo Mother Method is intended for the care of the low weight premature newborn and aims to strengthen the mother-child bond, increase the parents’ competence and trust in the baby care and encourage the breastfeeding practice. The objective was  demonstrating the evidence supporting the use of KMM as an alternative to neonatal care, focusing on its benefits and evaluating whether the method reduces morbidity and mortality in low weight premature newborn. This is a descriptive research, based on a bibliographic survey in the databases BDEnf, Lilacs, SciELO and BIREME, considering the period from 2000 to 2016.  Articles were analyzed on the Kangaroo Method and the reduction of neonatal morbidity and mortality, the study showed that the Kangaroo Mother Method reduces the rates of both mortality and neonatal morbidity, but has shown that there are few studies related to this topic. The Kangaroo Mother Method has proven to be more than an alternative for low-income countries, where incubators or neonatal care rooms are lacking. It is also a strategy with multiple advantages for the newborn, both premature and full-term. The method efficacy in reducing neonatal morbidity and mortality and low weight was emphasized. Mortality and morbidity studies of the Kangaroo Method in low- and middle-income countries have concluded that the Kangaroo Mother Method substantially reduces neonatal mortality in preterm infants in hospitals and underweight. Keywords: Morbidity and Mortality Neonatal.

Background: The neonatal mortality rate is a key outcome indicator for newborn care and directly reflects prenatal, natal, and postnatal care. Early neonatal deaths are more closely associated with pregnancy-related factors and maternal health, whereas late neonatal deaths are associated more with factors in the newborn‘s environment. Objectives: To estimate the neonatal mortality rate in Aseptic Neonatal Care Unit of Al-Sadder Teaching Hospital in Missan Province during period (2011-2014). To determine the most common causes of death in the neonatal period. Patients and methods: A hospital-based study was done depending on data collected from records of the Aseptic Neonatal Care Unit of Al-Sadder Teaching Hospital in Missan Province to calculate the number of deaths within the neonatal period (0-28 days) that was conducted from 2011 to 2014. The other line of data was collected from Obstetrical Ward by calculating number of live births for the same period. Then Neonatal Mortality Rate is calculated and conducted for each year according to the method recommended by WHO. Results: The neonatal mortality rates were 12.15, 13.51, 16.37 and16.11 in 2011 to 2014 respectively in which there was an increment in mortality rate. The main causes of death were respiratory distress syndrome, birth asphyxia and congenital anomalies. Conclusion: Neonatal mortality rate was high in the Aseptic Neonatal Care Unit of Al-Sadder Teaching Hospital, but it was less than the previous period in Iraq since 1990. These results suggest, that to decrease neonatal mortality, improved health service quality is crucial.

Neonatal morbidity and mortality still poses a serious challenge in developing countries. Low level of obstetric care, unsupervised home deliveries and late referrals lead to poor outcome even in special care baby units (SCBU). To identify the common causes of neonatal morbidity and mortality among babies admitted to the SCBU in Aminu Kano Teaching Hospital (AKTH) the case-notes of all admitted neonates from January 1998 to December 2004 were retrospectively reviewed. A total of 2963 (98.3%) babies had complete records. There were 1455 (49.1%) in-born (delivered in AKTH) and 1508 (50.9%) out-born (delivered elsewhere) babies. The sex ratio was1.25:1in favour of males. A total of1868 (63.0%) were of normal birth weight, while 951 (32.1%) and 134 (4.5%) were low birth weight and macrocosmic, respectively. The leading diagnoses were birth asphyxia (27%) (severe birth asphyxia 18.1%, moderate asphyxia 8.9%), neonatal sepsis (25.3%) and prematurity (16.0%). Out of the 2963 babies, 501 (16.9%) died. The risk of dying was significantly higher (20.5%) among out-born babies compared with those delivered in AKTH (6.4%) (odds ratio = 1.71, 95% confidence interval = 1.4-2.1). In conclusion, the causes of neonatal morbidity and mortality at this centre are similar to those reported from other units. They could be prevented through effective antenatal care, supervised delivery and appropriate care and early referral of sick neonates.

Objectives: The objective of this study was to take a look at main causes associated with highest neonatal morbidity and mortality in neonatal care unit of People’s medical college hospital Nawabshah. Study Design: Retrospective study. Period: January 2015 to December 2015. Setting: Paediatric medicine ward of People’s medical college hospital Nawabshah. Methods: The data collected included; sex, gestational age, postnatal age atadmission, weight at admission, main cause of admission, outcome, cause of death. Results: The number of neonates admitted in NICU was 2863 (14.4%) of the total admissions (19882) to the paediatric unit including neonatal unit during the study period. There were more males 1750 (61.9%) than females. Prematurity, neonatal sepsis and birth asphyxia were the most common morbidities (27.5%, 14.9% and 14.6%, respectively). The overall mortality was 21.93% (628 out of 2863 babies). The morbidities with the highest mortality were birth asphyxia 244(38.85%), neonatal sepsis and meningitis 77 (12.26%), and V.L.B.W (9.03%). Conclusion: Birth Asphyxia, neonatal sepsis and meningitis, and low birth weight were the major contributors in admission as well as mortality of newborns, depicting a lack of care and attention in antenatal duration and there is a major lack of training and retraining of birth attendants.

Abstract Preterm birth is a global health concern and continues to contribute to substantial neonatal morbidity and mortality despite advances in obstetric and neonatal care. The underlying aetiology is multi-factorial and remains incompletely understood. In this review, the complex interplay between the vaginal microbiome in pregnancy and its association with preterm birth is discussed in depth. Advances in the study of bacteriology and an improved understanding of the human microbiome have seen an improved awareness of the vaginal microbiota in both health and in disease.
