Background: Neonatal mortality rate (NMR) is one of the important parameters in assessing quality of life in societies. NMR are often used as a standard index for evaluation health, education and social systems, nutritional status and health programs for neonates in countries and the first step in reducing mortality rate and promoting the level of this indicator is to identify the causes of mortality. Therefore, this study was conducted to determine the NMR in new born infants admitted to the ICU of Ardabil city hospitals.Methods: This study was a descriptive cross-sectional study that has been done on 184 dead neonates in Ardabil city hospital during 2016-2017. The necessary information was extracted from the hospital records of neonates and entered in a provided checklist and then analyzed by statistical methods such as tables in SPSS version 19.Results: The mortality rate of hospitalized infants in this research was 6.6%. Of all patients, in 65.2% CBC were impaired and 58.7% of patients had impaired serologic and biochemical tests. 68.5% of patients had prematurity, 62.5% RDS and 20.7% had congenital anomalies.Conclusions: Prematurity, RDS and congenital anomalies are the most important causes of NMR and we should programing to decreasing the NMR rate in future.

Background: Neonatal mortality rate of 29 and early neonatal mortality rate is 20 which contributes 53% of IMR. India targets to achieve single digit under 5 and neonatal death by 2030. Early identification and management of common morbidities among neonates is desirable for improving the survival. Therefore, this study was conducted with the aim of assessing socio-clinical profile of neonates admitted to SNCU and its impact on morbidities of newborn from different strata.Methods: A cross sectional study was conducted in SNCU of MKCG medical college from January 2016 to December 2016. Convenient sampling was done. Data was collected using pre-designed semi structured questionnaire.Results: Total 752 study subjects were taken. Most common cause of admission was sepsis (47.4%) followed by prematurity (27.8%), birth asphyxia (13.9%) and IUGR (7.5%). Majority of out born neonates were admitted for sepsis (87.9%) while in born neonates for birth asphyxia (81.9%). All the morbidities were significantly higher among early neonates, babies born to illiterate mother and those with inadequate antenatal check-up.Conclusions: Majority of babies were out born, may be due to delay and lack of quality new born care in the referring facilities. Sepsis was most common preventable morbidity by simple intervention of clean delivery practices which should be promoted. Birth asphyxia can be reduced by adequate skill development training of the staffs and minimising the 3 delays maternal care.

Background: The neonatal period or the first 28 days after birth is a critical and vulnerable time for a child period, and the mortality rate is high due to the severe problems which might happen during this period. The goal of this study was to compare the risk factors associated with the neonatal mortality rate (NMR) before and after the implementation of the health sector evolution plan (HSEP) in Fars Province, Iran. Methods: This study was a retrospective cross-sectional study. This research was conducted using the census method, and 275951 newborns’ files were studied. Variables are expressed as percentage and frequency. The chi-square test and Fisher tests was used to measure the significance level of variables. A multivariate logistic regression model was also used to estimate the odds ratio of neonatal mortality and risk factors associated with neonatal mortality. All statistical tests were performed bilaterally with P-value < 0.05 considered as significant. All tests were conducted using the software SPSS19. Results: After HSEP, risk factors of pregnancy and delivery complications were significantly reduced, and abnormalities were significantly increased (P-value < 0.001). Using multivariate logistic regression analysis, the risk of death is nine times more in gestational age below 37 weeks compared to gestational age over 37 weeks. The chances of neonatal mortality among neonates weighing less than 1000 grams are much more, and it is about 140 times more than normal weight (over 2500 grams). There was not a significant relationship between the chance of neonatal mortality and the implementation of HSEP (P-value > 0.05). Conclusion: Neonates with abnormal weight and premature neonates had the highest chance of death. Therefore, the prevention of preterm labor and low-birth-weight infants are essential factors in reducing neonatal mortality. This study suggests that improved health service quality is determinative to decrease neonatal mortality rate.

 Abstrak Program Perencanaan Persalinan dan Pencegahan Komplikasi (P4K) merupakan program pemerintah dalam penurunan angka kematian ibu dan bayi baru lahir. Angka kematian bayi (AKB) di Indonesia masih tinggi dimana Kabupaten Probolinggo merupakan salah satu penyumbang tertinggi. P4K merupakan tanggung jawab bidan, ibu hamil, suami, dan keluarga. Masih tingginya kematian neonatal di Kabupaten Probolinggo, diduga karena kurangnya peran aktif ibu, suami, dan keluarga dalam penerapan P4K. Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis pengaruh penerapan P4K terhadap kematian neonatal di Kabupaten Probolinggo. Rancang bangun penelitian adalah crossectional dengan populasi seluruh ibu yang mempunyai bayi lahir hidup atau mati (usia 0-28 hari) yang mendapatkan stiker P4K. Teknik sampling menggunakan accidental sampling. Sampel penelitian ini adalah sebagian ibu yang mempunyai bayi lahir hidup atau mati (usia 0-28 hari) yang mendapatkan stiker P4K. Pengumpulan data menggunakan kuesioner dan wawancara. Uunivariat, bivariat dan multivariat digunakan dalam menganalisis data. Hasil penelitian menginformasikan sebagian besar ibu, suami, dan keluarga kurang berperan aktif. Sehingga ada pengaruh penerapan P4K terhadap kematian neonatal. Untuk itu, diperlukan peran aktif kader posyandu dalam memotivasi dan mendampingi ibu, suami dan keluarga dalam penerapan P4K sebagai upaya menurunkan kematian neonatal.  Kata kunci  : P4K, kematian neonatal, stiker  Abstract           The Maternity and Complication Prevention Planning Program (P4K) is a government program in reducing maternal and newborn mortality. The infant mortality rate (IMR) in Indonesia is still high where Probolinggo District is one of the highest contributors. P4K is the responsibility of midwives, pregnant women, husbands and families. The high neonatal mortality rate in Probolinggo Regency is allegedly due to the lack of active role of mothers, husbands, and families in implementing P4K. This study aimed to analyze the effect of P4K application on neonatal mortality in Probolinggo District. The research design was cross-sectional with the population of all mothers who had live or dead babies (aged 0-28 days) who received P4K stickers. The sampling technique used accidental sampling. The sample of this study was that some mothers who have babies born alive or dead (age 0-28 days) who got P4K stickers. Data collection used questionnaires and interviews. Univariate, bivariate and multivariate were used to analyze the data. The results of the study informed that most mothers, husbands, and families were less active. Therefore, there was an effect of applying P4K to neonatal mortality. It is suggested for posyandu cadres to have an active role in motivating and assisting mothers, husbands and families in implementing P4K as an effort to reduce neonatal mortality.Keywords    : P4K, neonatal mortality, sticker

Background: The neonatal mortality rate remains high in developing countries despite the significant reduction in under-five mortality globally. Therefore, periodic evaluations on the causes of mortality are an aspect of health status, which could be performed to improve the neonatal mortality rate. Objectives: The present study aimed to determine the pattern and causes of neonatal mortality in the Federal Medical Center in Owo, Ondo State, Southwest Nigeria. Methods: This retrospective study was conducted using the hospital records of the neonates admitted over a five-year period from 1st of January 2015 to 31st of December 2019. Results: In total, 2,065 neonates were admitted, including 208 cases of neonatal deaths. Mortality occurred in 127 males (61.1%) and 81 females (38.9%), with the male-to-female ratio of 1.6:1. Among the recorded deaths, 114 cases (54.8%) occurred within the first 24 hours of admission, while 94 neonates (45.2%) died after 24 hours of admission. In addition, the mortality rate was higher among outborn neonates (n = 120; 57.7%) compared to inborn neonates (n = 88; 42.3%). The major causes of neonatal deaths included birth asphyxia (46.6%), prematurity (23.1%), and sepsis (17.8%). The overall mortality rate over the five-year period was 10.1%, which is equivalent to 19 deaths per 1,000 live births. Conclusions: According to the results, preventable diseases such as birth asphyxia, prematurity, and sepsis remain the major causes of neonatal mortality, of which neonatal deaths occur mostly within 24 hours of admission.

Background:Neonatal mortality rate is regarded as an important and sensitive indicator of the health status of a community. Children face the highest risk of dying in their first month of life. The present study was aimed to 1) determine the prevalence of neonatal mortality rate 2) identify socio-biological factors in relation to neonatal mortality.3) determine the causes of neonatal mortality. Methods:A community based cross sectional study was conducted in the field practice areas of Department of Community Medicine, AMU, Aligarh. All the live births and all neonatal deaths were taken for one year from June 2016 to May 2017. A standard Verbal autopsy questionnaire (WHO 2012) was used as a study tool. Results:The prevalence of neonatal mortality rate was38.2/1000 live births. The early neonatal mortality rate was 28.3/1000 live births and late neonatal mortality rate was 9.9/1000 live births. The associated socio –biological factors were gender [OR-2.381, 95% CI-1.037-5.468], birth order [OR-4.090, 95% CI-1.119-14.946] and gestational age [OR-12.62, 95% CI-3.26-48.82]. The leading causes of deaths among newborns were preterm births (22.2%), birth asphyxia (22.2%), other causes (19%), ARI (14.3%), congenital anomalies (14.3%) and diarrhoeaandneonatal sepsis accounted for (4.8%) each. Conclusions: The neonatal mortality rate assessed by verbal autopsy is higher than nationally reported. Most of the deaths were in early neonatal period. There is a need for programs encouraging the use of antenatal care, encouraging institutional deliveries and care of LBW neonates; as well as implementation of community-based newborn survival strategies.

Abstract Background The current neonatal mortality rate in Nigeria (37/1000) is among the highest in the world and the major causes have consistently been reported as sepsis, perinatal asphyxia and prematurity. However, case-specific fatality which defines the risk of dying from these and other neonatal morbidities is rarely emphasized. Determination of case-specific fatality rates (CSFR) may inform a change in our current approach to neonatal care interventions which may eventually bring about the much-needed reduction in our neonatal mortality rate. Our aim was to determine the case-specific fatality rates for the common causes of mortality among hospitalized neonates at the National Hospital Abuja (NHA). Methods Relevant demographic and clinical data on all neonates admitted into the NICU at the NHA over a period of 13 months (January 2017 to February 2018) were extracted from the Neonatal Registry database and analyzed using appropriate statistical methods with the SPSS version 20 software. The case-specific fatality rates were computed for the predominant morbidities in addition to determination of the neonatal mortality rates and associated risk factors. Results and conclusion A total of 730 neonates were admitted, out of which 391 (53.6%) were females, 396 (54.5%) were inborn and 396 (54.2%) were term. The three most prevalent morbidities were prematurity 272(37.2%), neonatal Jaundice 208(28.4%) and perinatal asphyxia 91(12.5%) while the most common causes of mortality were prematurity 47/113(41.6%), congenital malformations 27/113(23.9%) and perinatal asphyxia 26/113(23%). Congenital malformations had the highest case-specific fatality 27/83(32.5%) followed by Perinatal Asphyxia 26/91(28.6%) and prematurity 47/272(20.7%). The mortality pattern differed between inborn and out born babies. Implications of these case-specific fatality rates for targeted interventions are discussed.

Introduction: Neonatal mortality rate is highest in sub-Saharan Africa and Southern Asia region. The present study is undertaken to find out prevalence of neonatal sepsis, recognize bacterial pathogens, neonatal risk factors, major symptoms, and their antibiotic sensitivity pattern in neonates in tertiary care hospital in southern Nepal. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was carried out in a tertiary care hospital from 2nd January 2017 to 20th February 2018 after approval (Ref: 125/2016-17). The sample size was calculated and convenience sampling was done. Data were collected from hospital records and microbiology laboratory and analyzed by Statistical Package for Social Sciences. Results: Out of 1200 clinically suspected cases, early-onset neonatal sepsis was seen in 290 (79.89%). A positive culture was seen in 363 (30.25%) where maximum bacterial growth was found in 254 (69.98%) males. Preterm gestational age was seen in 265 (73%), low birth weight 284 (78.23%), a vaginal delivery mode in 279 (76.90%), and delivery in hospital in 232 (63.91%). Likewise, Staphylococcus aureus in 229 (63.08%) was found maximum followed by Klebsiella pneumoniae in 48(13.22%). The major symptom observed was Respiratory distress in 245 (20.41%) while culture positive was seen in poor cry in 94 (53.10%). Mainly effective antibiotics against Gram-positive and gram-negative organisms were Linezolid in 250 (94%) and Imipenem in 46 (90.19%), whereas Penicillin-G in 254 (99.21%) and Ampicillin in 38 (94.74%) found resistance towards organisms respectively. Conclusions: The high prevalence of neonatal sepsis in our study reflects a huge challenge to reduce the neonatal mortality rate to 12 by 2030 of Sustainable Development Goals. Bacterial isolates exhibited higher resistance towards commonly used antibiotics.
