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.

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.

Background: Neonatal period is a very vulnerable period of life due to many problems, In spite of advances in perinatal and neonatal care still, the mortality rate of neonate high especially in developing country The World Health Organization estimates that globally four million neonatal deaths per year, Developing countries account for around 99% of the neonatal mortality in the world, In Iraq. Neonatal mortality rate about 19 per 1000 live births which represent 56% of child death below 5 years age in 2012. The hospital in the study represents the larger pediatric hospital in Iraq. It contains 400 children's beds and 24 neonatal incubators. Aims of the study: are to determine the institutional new-born case fatality rate and the cause of death in the neonatal care unit. Method; The study is cross-section study of the population sample of neonatal care unit of central teaching hospital of pediatric in Baghdad Al-krakh health directorate Result: Study appear total neonate admission during 2015 was 1977 neonates mortality rate 9% Four main causes of death were Respiratory related condition, Bacterial sepsis, Disorder related to short gestational and low birth weight not relayed to elsewhere classification and congenital malformation 37.5%, 33.3%, 7.1% and 7.1% respectively while the main primary cause of morbidity were Neonatal jaundice, Respiratory related condition, Bacterial sepsis and 37.5%, 35.2%. 14.1% respectively Conclusions: The majority of morbidity and mortality can prevent by appropriate intervention

ABSTRACT In a study of 173 pregnancies in 130 diabetic mothers of White's groups B, C and D who had received long-term treatment during pregnancy, the authors found cases of diabetes – in addition to the mother – in the maternal family, in the father and his family, or in the maternal as well as paternal family in a total of 100 pregnancies (57 %). The perinatal mortality was only slightly – and not significantly – higher among infants whose families included other diabetics than the mother. This higher mortality was found only among male infants of whom there was a preponderance in pregnancies with familial diabetes, but this was also not statistically significant. Thus, the result indirectly indicates that the primary cause of the high mortality among the infants of diabetic women must be the fact that the foetus develops in a diabetic environment.
