Neonatal deaths (i.e., those occurring within 28 days of birth) account for close to half of all deaths among children under age 5 worldwide. In most low and middle-income countries, data on neonatal deaths come primarily from household surveys. We conducted a validation study of survey ...
Neonatal deaths, estimated at approximately 4 million annually, now account for more than 40% of deaths worldwide. Bacterial infections are the leading cause of neonatal deaths. Although risk factors for community and hospital based infections potentially leading to neonatal sepsis are well researched,...
Neonatal history for nearly thirteen % of all the births and 17% of all the infant deaths occurring in the nation and this phenomenon costs the country more than $25 billion annually. The Canadian Neonatal (Preterm) Infant Care Market is study by Equipment/Merchandise, Services, Drugs and ...
More children die in the first year of life than in any other period, with most deaths occurring within the first 27 days.2 Offering parental choice in where end-of-life care is delivered should be a routine part of neonatal care.3 Despite this, in the UK 98% of neonatal deaths occur...
More than one million neonatal deaths occur per year, with 99% occurring in low- and middle-income countries1,2,3. The global neonatal mortality rate has decreased over the past years, but to a lesser extent compared to other under-five child deaths4. Globally, an estimate of 22, 25 ...
An estimated 18% to 37% of neonatal deaths, defined as deaths occurring during the first 28 days of life, could be averted through expanded coverage of cost-effective interventions, if delivered through family or community approaches [2]. Nepal is one of the few developing countries considered ...
Identification of neonatal danger signs and immediate access to health care are two global efforts aimed at enhancing newborn and child survival by preventing 75% of neonatal deaths. Despite various small-scale studies on women’s awareness of neonatal danger signs in Ethiopia, little is known abou...
Ideally maternal history of previous stillbirths should have been combined with history of neonatal death to examine the overall burden of history of adverse obstetric outcomes because many important risk factors of stillbirths and early neonatal deaths are similar. However, the NFHS-4 data did not...
Childbirth and the postnatal period, spanning from right after birth to the following several weeks, presents a time in which the number of deaths reported still remain alarmingly high. Worldwide, about 800 women die from pregnancy- or childbirth-related
Age is admittedly a critical factor in the field of neurosciences [86], but even more so in neurodevelopment. Why do we model a brain injury occurring at around birth in humans in seven-day-old rodents? The answer is that the relation of birth to the degree of maturation of the brain ...
