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 ...
Perinatal mortality is frequently defined as the sum of fetal and neonatal deaths, although other definitions are used. Preterm birth is defined as a birth occurring before 37 weeks of gestation, and a growth-restricted infant is defined as one born at less than the 10th percentile birth weight...
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...
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 ...
serious pediatric wellness trouble in the Canada, forming one of the leading causes of baby mortality in the country.Neonatalhistory 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 ...
Background. Neonatal sepsis is an important cause of morbidity and mortality among neonates in developing countries accounting for 30-50% of total deaths each year. Childhood mortality is often used ...
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...
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,...
(15 to 44 years old), with an estimated 228,000 deaths occurring annually in this population [253]. Most worldwide disability-adjusted life years (99.4%) and deaths (99.6%) resulting from tuberculosis occur in low-income and middle-income countries [203,253]. Tuberculosis during pregnancy ...
