“…In the present study, amongst maternal risk factors, anemia was the commonest (65%) followed by previous pre term delivery which was similar to the studies by Roy K K et al, 10 and Arvind Sehgal et al, 5 where the Anemia was commonest (32.6% and 65% respectively) maternal risk factor noted. 44% mothers did not receive adequate antenatal care (ANC) and babies born to them had unfavorable outcome.…”

“…Due to continued innovation in neonatal intensive care facilities during the last two decades, the survival of premature infants has significantly increased due to advancement in perinatal and neonatal treatment expertise and improvement in the care of high risk mother. 2 This increased survival rate in preterm babies is associated with increased morbidity and mortality rates.…”

OBJECTIVE:To study the morbidity and the mortality patterns in inborn preterm newborns admitted in NICU at a tertiary care teaching hospital. DESIGN: Retrospective study. The medical records of all the inborn preterm neonates (G. age ≤36W+6 days) who were admitted to the NICU were analyzed by using a pre-set proforma. SETTINGS: Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU), Department of Pediatrics, Adesh Institute of Medical Science & Research Institute (AIMSR) Bathinda, Punjab. The study was carried out over a period of 2 years from January 2012 to December 2014. PARTICIPANTS: 80 preterm neonates who were born in AIMSR and were admitted with some illness to the NICU. OUTCOME: The patterns of the morbidity and the mortality among the preterm neonates who were admitted to the NICU. 'Survival' was defined as the discharge of a live neonate/ infant from the hospital. RESULTS: A total of 80 premature inborn infants were analyzed for the complications they encountered after birth while admitted in NICU. Out of 80 premature babies, 32 (40%) were male and 48 (60%) were female babies. Mean gestational age was and Mean birth weight was. Neonatal hyper-bilirubinemia, HMD/RDS and Neonatal sepsis were the commonest causes of morbidity. Among 80 premature babies 15(18.7%) died. The highest mortality was seen in babies those weighing less than 800 grams (100%). Male mortality is 34.4% and female mortality is 8.3%.

Background: Neonatal period is an important period in the life where most of the deaths are preventable. In India every year 1 million babies die, which contributes to 25% of the world neonatal mortality. Perinatal death is very high in developing countries including India.Methods: A record based retrospective study was conducted in the Neonatal Intensive care unit(NICU) of Department of Pediatrics, Chengalpattu Medical College in Tamil Nadu, South India. The records were collected for the period of one year from January 2016 to December 2016. All the neonates admitted in the NICU during this period were included in the study. Results: The number of total deliveries in Chengalpattu Medical College for the year 2016 was 9339. Total number of live births was 9170 of which 21.88% were low birth weight and 15.96% were preterm delivery. Mortality rate in males is 3.2% (54/1689) and mortality rate in female is 3.98% (55/1383). The difference in mortality rate among male and female neonates was not significant. Respiratory distress syndrome and prematurity related illness contributed to 45% of the total neonatal deaths (39/110). Birth asphyxia and meconium aspiration contributed to 23.6 % (24/110). Rest of the mortality was contributed by ELBW 11.8% (13/110), major congenital malformation 6.4% (7/110), sepsis 1.8% (2/110) and others.Conclusions: Prematurity related problems and respiratory distress are the leading causes of neonatal mortality and morbidity followed by birth asphyxia in CMCH. Proper identification and management of pre-eclampsia, prevention of preterm and low birth weight deliveries are the need of the hour to reduce the mortality and morbidity among neonates.

“…At the beginning of the third-trimester of pregnancy, the baby weighs about 1 kg, and most babies have the capacity to live outside the womb. 1 At this stage of pregnancy, the risk of stillbirth is about 2%, and the risk of death at the very beginning of life is only matched when people reach their 80s. [2][3][4][5] Once regular contractions have indicated that labour has begun, both the mother and her baby face a higher mortality risk than at any other stage of life.…”
