Background: Neonatal respiratory distress one of the main causes of neonatal morbidity and mortality. It is a diagnostic and therapeutic emergency whose etiology is dominated by respiratory pathologies. Objective: To study the epidemiological, clinical, diagnostic, therapeutic, and outcomes aspects of neonatal respiratory distress in order to help reduce its impact on neonatal morbidity and mortality. Methods: A retrospective descriptive cross-sectional study covering the period from 1st January 2017 to 31 December 2018 was conducted in the Neonatology Unit of the Centre Hospitalier Universitaire Pédiatrique Charles de Gaulle of Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso (West Africa). The clinical records of newborns admitted for respiratory distress (n=305) were included in the study. Results: Over the two-year period, the frequency of neonatal respiratory distress was 39.1% (305/780). Factors of respiratory distress were early neonatal period (80%), male sex (60.7%), full-term birth (82.3%), and normal birth weight (66.3%). The Silverman and Andersen score was mild (20.4%), moderate (68.5%), and severe (11.1%). The main causes of respiratory distress were neonatal septicemic infection (59.3%) and perinatal asphyxia (30.5%). Treatment mainly includes cardiopulmonary resuscitation, maintenance of fluid and electrolyte balance, and oxygen therapy. There were 83 deaths, giving a case-fatality rate of 27.2%. Major causes of death were sepsis (13.1%) and perinatal asphyxia (9.8%). Conclusion: Neonatal respiratory distress is common in our neonatal unit. In order to reduce neonatal morbidity and mortality linked to this condition, action must be taken to combat neonatal sepsis, perinatal asphyxia, and preterm birth.

“…Barring unreported cases, the causes of NRD are well documented and classified [21,22]. Respiratory pathologies are the main causes of NRD, according to most authors [6,7,19,20], although their frequency may vary, respiratory causes are followed by perinatal asphyxia, sepsis, and congenital malformations.…”

“…1 Neonatal seizures are characterized by aberrant motor, autonomic, and behavioral activity and are characterized by paroxysmal brain dysfunction. 2 They pose a significant risk for eventual neurological impairment or death, and they can independently have a negative impact on a neonate's neurodevelopmental outcome. Because of subtle form of seizure is more common seizure during the neonatal period, it is highly challenging to identify.…”

Background: In the neonatal period, seizures emerge as the most apparent warning sign of neurological disorder and are most common in the first 10 days of life. The true incidence of newborn seizures is difficult to ascertain since clinical detection of neonatal seizures is challenging. Growing research suggests that newborn seizures impair neurodevelopmental outcome and may increase the risk of cognitive, behavioral, or epileptic consequences in adulthood. Methodology: The Neonatal unit of the Paediatrics Department at the Jalalabad Ragib-Rabeya Medical College Hospital in Sylhet served as the site of this cross-sectional study. This study was conducted between July 2013 and December 2013. There were 100 newborns who had seizures participated in the study. After written consent, a thorough history was taken and complete physical examinations were done. Every seizure episode that was reported by the mother and later examined by the resident doctors documented clinically. Results: Most neonates (74%) who experienced seizures were between 1 and 3 days old, and most of them were male children (63%). 40% of newborns cried right away, whereas 60% of them had a history of delayed crying. During the first three days of life, 83% of infants experienced seizures. More than half (57%) of newborns required resuscitation, and 100% of them had weak reflexes. Different types of seizures were observed in neonates. Among them 67% of patients had subtle seizures, 13% had tonic-clonic seizures, 10% had focal clonic seizures, and 10% had tonic seizures. Total 86% of the patients were discharged following treatment. Conclusion: First three days of life and male babies are more prone to seizures. Neonatal mortality is largely caused by newborn seizures.
