Consanguinity and Neonatal Death: A Nested Case-Control Study

OBJECTIVE Although numerous studies have found higher rates of abortion and still births following consanguinity (familial marriages), the question of whether consanguinity significantly increases the risk of neonatal death has inadequately been addressed.This study aims to evaluate familial marriage effects on neonatal death in rural areas in Iran. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this nested case-c...

Rehospitalization for neonatal dehydration: a nested case-control study.

OBJECTIVES To determine the incidence of neonatal dehydration leading to rehospitalization, whether clinical and health services data could predict its occurrence, and the outcome of dehydrated infants. METHODS We employed a retrospective case-control design nested within a cohort of 51 383 newborns weighing 2000 g or more, with a gestational age of 36 weeks or more born at 11 Kaiser Permanen...

neonatal mortality risk factors in a rural part of iran: a nested case-control study

background: due to complex causal framework of neonatal mortality, improvement of this health indicator is quite gradual and it's decreasing trend is not as great as other health indicators such as infant and under 5 mortality rates.this study was conducted to evaluate neonatal mortality risk factors based on nested case-control design. methods:  the study population was 6900 neonates who were ...

Gabapentin, opioids, and the risk of opioid-related death: A population-based nested case–control study

BACKGROUND Prescription opioid use is highly associated with risk of opioid-related death, with 1 of every 550 chronic opioid users dying within approximately 2.5 years of their first opioid prescription. Although gabapentin is widely perceived as safe, drug-induced respiratory depression has been described when gabapentin is used alone or in combination with other medications. Because gabapent...

Determinants of neonatal mortality in rural Northern Ethiopia: A population based nested case control study

INTRODUCTION In low income and middle income countries, neonatal mortality remains high despite the gradual reduction in under five mortality. Newborn death contributes for about 38% of all under five deaths. This study has identified the magnitude and independent predictors of neonatal mortality in rural Ethiopia. METHODS This population based nested case control study was conducted in rural...
