Logistic regression model Meta –Analysis techniques were this study.ResultsA logistic reveals that, for Bangladesh mother's higher-level education (OR: 0.591; CI: 0.401–0.872)and father's 0.352; 0.135–0.915), better wealth status 0.467; 0.275–0.795), being 2nd born above order neonate 0.329; 0.216–0.501), 19 years delivery 0.51; 0.341–0.763), female 0.253–0.49), ANC visit, 0.206; 0.144–0.296), media access 0.590; 0.391–0.891) statistically predictors lowering death. While twin birth 8.815; 4.057–19.153) revealed factor mortality. These results justified by meta-analyses countries well.ConclusionIn study, lower level, poor status, 1st neonate, early maternal age, male birth, having no was found be influencing death
