“…Tietche et al in Cameroon, 9 and Azoumah et al in Togo, 19 found similar rates but ours was higher than those from other African authors ranging from 9% to 23.5% 18,20,21,22 . This is a signal for rigorous hygiene during the prenatal period, delivery and post natal periods for any reduction in infections to be achieved.…”

Background: The fourth Millennium Development Goals targets reduction by 2/3 the mortality rate of under-fives by 2015. This reduction starts with that of neonatal mortality representing 40% of childhood mortality. In Cameroon neonatal mortality was 31‰ in 2011. Objectives: We assessed the trends, associated factors and causes of neonatal deaths at the Yaounde Gynaeco-Obstetric and Pediatric Hospital. Methods: The study was a retrospective chart review. Data was collected from the hospital records, and included both maternal and neonatal variables from 1st January 2004 to 31st December 2010. Results: The neonatal mortality was 10%. Out-borns represented 49.3% of the deceased neonates with 11.3% born at home. The neonatal mortality rate followed a downward trend dropping from12.4% in 2004 to 7.2% in 2010. The major causes of deaths were: neonatal sepsis (37.85%), prematurity (31.26%), birth asphyxia (16%), and congenital malformations (10.54%). Most (74.2%) of the deaths occurred within the first week with 35% occurring within 24hours of life. Mortality was higher in neonates with birth weight less than 2500g and a gestational age of less than 37 weeks. In the mothers, it was high in single parenthood , primiparous and in housewives and students. Conclusion: There has been a steady decline of neonatal mortality since 2004. Neonatal sepsis, prematurity, birth asphyxia and congenital malformations were the major causes of neonatal deaths. Neonatal sepsis remained constant although at lower rates over the study period.

“…12 However, lower incidences (6.4-10.5%) were reported by other authors in their studies. 13,15 Early and late onset sepsis were accounted almost equal in our study. Risk factors for neonatal sepsis during antenatal, intrapartum and postnatal period are equally important and should be taken into consideration for its prevention.…”

Background & Objectives: Neonatal period is a vulnerable time in which the newborn has to adapt to a totally new environment and is susceptible to many problems, which may even be life threatening. Every year, millions of neonates are born and a large proportion of them are admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) for various indications. It is found that neonatal mortality rate is decreasing in Nepal but at a slower pace than infant and child mortality. In order to improve neonatal outcome, it is crucial to identify the areas where health care can be improved. Therefore, this study was conducted to identify the clinical profile, pattern of diseases and common causes of mortality and morbidity in neonates admitted to neonatology unit.Materials & Methods: A retrospective study was conducted at neonatology unit of BPKIHS, from January 2014 to December 2014. A total of 1009 neonates (both inborn and out-born) were admitted to neonatology division during the study period. Data was collected from the hospital record section. Ethical clearance was taken from the institutional ethical committee before the initiation of the study. Data was entered and descriptive analysis was done by using SPSS 20.0.Results: Total of 1009 neonates were admitted in neonatology unit. Among them, 349(34.5%) cases were admitted due neonatal sepsis, 236 (23.3%) due to prematurity and 233 (23.1%) with birth asphyxia. Among birth asphyxia, 102(43.7%) were in HIE III, 34.3% and 21.8% in HIE II and HIE I, respectively. The overall mortality was 47 (4.7%) during hospital stay.Conclusion: Sepsis, prematurity and birth asphyxia were major causes for admission in NICU. All these etiologies are preventable up to some extent and, if detected earlier, can be effectively treated in order to reduce morbidity and mortalityJCMS Nepal. 2015;11(3):20-24.

“…Eloundou and BobossiSerengbe, 10,20 had similar results with 38.9% and 30.7% mortality rates respectively. Many other African researchers have recorded rates ranging from 26% to 38.9%, 8,11,21,22 the highest rate (52.9%) was reported by Diallo 17 . Low birth weight and prematurity have been identified as risk factors for neonatal mortality by many other researchers 9,11,12,21,23,24 .…”
