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 ...

prematurity is the most common cause of neonatal death. risk factors of premature birth can be related with ethnicity and genetic. there is no comprehensive high sample size study in kurdish ethnicity to determine risk factors related to prematurity. this study evaluated risk factors of preterm labor in kurdish ethnicity.this case-control study was conducted in 200 preterm infants (case group) ...

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...

background: improving the neonatal health and reducing the neonatal mortality rate is valuable for not only health reasons, but social, psychological and economic reasons. it has advantages not just for the neonatal period of life but for the whole life. unfortunately in iran, in spite of efforts, there has been little success in decreasing the neonatal mortality rate. since investigating the c...

High negative reactivity in early childhood interferes with later academic and behavioral adjustment. Thus, investigating the origins of high negative affectivity in early childhood is of high relevance for understanding emotional morbidity after preterm birth. The present work explored (1) direct prematurity-related consequences for negative reactivity, (2) self-regulatory deficits as a mechan...

Methodology: All presented NICU (Neonatal Intensive Care Unit), were included study. Demogra...

A systematic literature review identified the most frequently cited medical consequences of teenage pregnancy as anaemia, pregnancy-induced hypertension, low birth weight, prematurity, intra-uterine growth retardation and neonatal mortality. Critical appraisal suggested that increased risks of these outcomes were predominantly caused by the social, economic, and behavioural factors that predisp...

BACKGROUND The current decline in under-five mortality shows an increase in share of neonatal deaths. In order to address neonatal mortality and possibly identify areas of prevention and intervention, we studied causes of admission and cause-specific neonatal mortality in a neonatal care unit at Kilimanjaro Christian Medical Centre (KCMC) in Tanzania. METHODS A total of 5033 inborn neonates a...

Background: Neonatal mortality had not changed significantly in the last decade in African countries particularly in Nigeria; however, under-five mortality had reduced significantly. Nigeria with a quarter of maternal and under-five mortality is among ten countries with the highest neonatal mortality. Previous studies had shown patterns of newborn morbidity and mortality; however, no study has ...
