BACKGROUND Extremely preterm infants are at high risk of neonatal mortality and adverse outcome. Survival rates are slowly improving, but increased survival may come at the expense of more handicaps. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS Prospective population-based cohort study of all infants born at 23 to 27 weeks of gestation in The Netherlands in 2007. 276 of 345 (80%) infants were born alive. E...

introduction: one of the most important criteria for health is neonatal mortality. mortality in neonatal period is high, that is about 65% of mortality in infancy occurs below the age of one year. this study was conducted to determine mortality rate in neonates in motazedi hospital of kermanshah during 2002 to 2003. materials & methods: this descriptive study was conducted on the dead neonates ...

OBJECTIVE Early neonatal mortality within the first 24 hours contributes substantially to overall neonatal mortality rates. The definition of birth asphyxia (BA) is imprecise, and reliable cause-specific mortality data are limited; thus the estimated proportion of BA-related deaths globally remains questionable. The objective was to determine the presumed causes of neonatal death within the fir...

Individually, metabolic disorders are rare, but overall they account for a significant number of neonatal disorders affecting the central nervous system. The neonatal clinical manifestations of inborn errors of metabolism (IEMs) are characterized by nonspecific systemic symptoms that may mimic more common acute neonatal disorders like sepsis, severe heart insufficiency, or neonatal hypoxic-isch...

Aims: Neonatal mortality ranks fifth among the top ten causes of death in world, including neonatal conditions. Early detection measures, such as assessing well-being fetus during womb through monitoring Fetal Movements (FM), can help to reduce incidence IUFD. Monitoring FM aims determine well-being. Celengan Rindu application was created with goal making it easier for mothers monitor daily. Th...

Neonatal sepsis is the third leading cause of neonatal mortality and a major public health problem, especially in developing countries. Although recent medical advances have improved neonatal care, many challenges remain in the diagnosis and management of neonatal infections. The diagnosis of neonatal sepsis is complicated by the frequent presence of noninfectious conditions that resemble sepsi...

abstract background: clinical risk index of babies (crib), score for neonatal acute physiology (snap), an update of the clinical risk index for babies score (crib ii) and score for neonatal acute physiology - perinatal extension (snap-pe) are scoring devices developed in neonatal intensive care units. this study reviewed these scoring systems in critically ill neonates to determine how well the...

Neonatal sepsis is considered a systemic inflammatory response syndrome caused by suspected or confirmed infection, being one of the main causes neonatal death worldwide and increased mortality. In Brazil, on average, 3,000 children die each year from sepsis, with prematurity na additional risk factor. Objective: to understand through literature about in newborns. Methodology: this review study...

Background: Neonatal death is defined as death at any point in time during the first four weeks of life. It is one of the most important criteria used to evaluate the effectiveness of interventions in public areas. We aimed to investigate pre-pregnancy risk factors associated with neonatal death. Materials and Methods: ...

Background: Preeclampsia is one of the leading causes death for both mother and fetus. divided into two categories onset, preeclampsia that begins at gestational age below 34 weeks called early onset late after above weeks. In early-onset preeclampsia, there an imperfect remodeling maternal spiral arteries, resulting in abnormal uteroplacental perfusion, causing hypoxia acidosis neonates which ...
