“…Current study revealed that there was statistically significant association between APGAR score and neonatal hypothermia at 1 hour after delivery (but no association at 10 minutes, 2 and 4 hours), similar to the study from Taiwan 19 , Iran 11 , Pakistan 12 and Ethiopia 20 ; probably due to temperature decreased when the baby were resuscitated. In contrast, the study from California found significant association between low APGAR score and newborn hypothermia .…”

Introductions: Neonatal hypothermia increases morbidity and mortality . This study aimed to assess the incidence of neonatal hypothermia and its association with low birth weight, preterm delivery, APGAR score and nursing care practices. Methods: A cross-sectional analytical study was carried out to assess the neonatal hypothermia in neonates born via vaginal deliveries at Maternity ward of Patan hospital, Patan Academy of Health Sciences (PAHS), Nepal, during Aug–Sept 2018. The study was approved from institutional review committee of PAHS. Axillary temperature was measured 4 times, at ten minutes and at 1,2, 4 hours after delivery by using Micro Life digital thermometer. The SPSS was used to analyse data for association of hypothermia with low birth weight, preterm delivery, APGAR score and nursing care practices. Chi square and fisher exact tests were used and p<0.05 was considered significant. Results: Out of 153 neonates, neonatal hypothermia was seen in 61 (39.8%), 66 (43.1%), 52 (33.9%) and 41 (26.8%) at 10 minutes and 1, 2 and 4 hours after delivery. There was statistically significant association between APGAR score and hypothermia at 1 hour. There was significant association between nursing care practices after delivery and hypothermia at 4 hours. Conclusions: In this study, the incidence of neonatal hypothermia was highoccurringin40% at 10 minutes and 25% at four hours after delivery. Low APGAR score was associated with hypothermia.

Prevalence of neonatal hypothermia and its associated factors in East Africa: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Background: Neonatal hypothermia is a global health problem and a major factor for neonatal morbidity and mortality, especially in low and middle-income countries. Therefore, this systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to assess the prevalence of neonatal hypothermia and its associated factors in Eastern Africa. Methods: We used the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) guidelines to search electronic databases (PubMed, Cochrane Library and Google Scholar; date of last search: 15 October 2019) for studies reporting the prevalence and associated factors of neonatal hypothermia. The data was extracted in the excel sheet considering prevalence, and categories of associated factors reported. A weighted inverse variance random-effects model was used to estimate the magnitude and the effect size of factors associated with hypothermia. The subgroup analysis was done by country, year of publication, and study design. Results: A total of 12 potential studies with 20,911 participants were used for the analysis. The pooled prevalence of neonatal hypothermia in East Africa was found to be 57.2% (95%CI; 39.5-75.0). Delay in initiation of breastfeeding (adjusted Odds Ratio(aOR) = 2.83; 95% CI: 1.40-4.26), having neonatal health problem (aOR = 2.68; 95% CI: 1.21-4.15), being low birth weight (aOR =2.16; 95%CI: 1.03-3.29), being preterm(aOR = 4.01; 95%CI: 3.02-5.00), and nighttime delivery (aOR = 4.01; 95% CI:3.02-5.00) were identified associated factors which significantly raises the risk of neonatal hypothermia. Conclusions: The prevalence of neonatal hypothermia in Eastern Africa remains high. Delay in initiation of breastfeeding, having a neonatal health problem, being low birth weight, preterm, and nighttime delivery were identified associated factors that significantly raises the risk of neonatal hypothermia.

“…Neonates with LBW have a higher risk of mortality than neonates with normal birth weight [4,5]. Those who survive tend to remain that predispose newborns to many health disorders: hypoglycemia [6][7][8], hypothermia [9,10], neurodevelopmental problems (mental retardation) [11], malnutrition, and have impaired immune function. Low birth weight neonates are not only at high risk of death but also are at increased risk of long-term neurologic disability, impaired language development, reduced cognitive abilities, and greater risk of medical disorders including cardiovascular disease and diabetes [1,12,13].…”

Low Birth Weight and Adverse Perinatal Outcomes

Globally, annually an estimated 15-20% of all births are low birth weight (LBW). Low birth weights are at a greater risk of neonatal and postneonatal mortality and morbidities. Therefore, this chapter is aimed to highlight the prevalence of low birth weight, predictors and adverse perinatal outcomes, and the respective possible prevention modalities. Sociodemographic, obstetric (previous abortion, hypertensive disorder, antenatal visits, and prematurity), and nutritional factors increased the risk of low birth weight. Low birth weight neonates were associated with adverse perinatal and childhood outcomes: low Apgar score, neonatal death, malnutrition, academic, and mental disorders. Improving the care of women who have previous or recent morbidities, hypertensive disorders of pregnancy, and prematurity should be priorities aimed at reducing low birth weight and its adverse perinatal outcomes. Incorporating mental health in the prenatal visit, improving the care for a high-risk pregnant woman, and community-based kangaroo mother care practice were also recommended.
