Introduction and aim. Reduction in child morbidity and mortality is result of upgradation of infrastructure and quality of public health care services. India alone accounts for 30% of the global neonatal deaths occur in India that occurs due to preventable cause. So, the aim of this study was to assess the pattern and status of neonatalmortality observed in SNCUs of Uttar Pradesh, India. Material and methods. Descriptive study was conducted based on secondary data obtained from sick new born care units (SNCU) online database from 89 Government-supported SNCUs of Uttar Pradesh, from April 2014 to March 2016. Data obtained included age, weight, sex, diagnosis, and outcome. Results. 22933 neonates admitted in SNCU were included in study with 14269 (62.2%) were males and 8664 (37.8%) females. Majority of the subject (20070; 87%) were in 0-5 days old age group. Most (72.5%) of admitted new-born improved and discharged. Low birth weight was significantly (χ 2 = 1334.2, p<0.001) related with outcome. Birth asphyxia contributed to maximum (36.11%) number of deaths, followed by respiratory distress syndrome (25.21%), sepsis (15.38%), prematurity and extremely low birth weight (5.8%). Conclusion. Improved antenatal care, improved access to health facility, timely referral of high-risk cases, capacity building, intensive interventional management can reduce neonatal mortality and its complications. Study also warrants, in-depth community-based qualitative study to identify gender-specific, equity issues.

This special supplement of the Indian Journal of Pediatrics carries 14 papers drafted through the evidence synthesis process which are aligned with the theme of INAP and provide insightful guidance on the next steps towards achieving INAP and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) targets [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17]. The articles in this supplement cover a wide range of themes in the Indian context -epidemiology, issues around maternal and newborn survival and well-being, burden and differentials and causes of stillbirths, child nutrition (particularly amongst tribal populations) and climate change and child health.…”
