Abstract
The neonatal period, the first 28 days of life, are the most precarious for a child’s survival. At an average global rate of 18 deaths per 1,000 live births in 2018, children had the highest risk of dying in their first month of life. In contrast, the likelihood of passing away after the first month but before turning one was eleven, and after turning one but before turning five was ten. Globally, 2.5 million infant deaths occurred in the first month of life in 2018—roughly 7,000 every day—with the majority of these deaths—close to three quarters—occurring on the first day.
Finding the causes of newborn mortality, comprehending the reasons why babies die in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs), and addressing the modifiable risk factors for death can all help to lower infant mortality to reduce the issues with these programs, it is essential to identify the causes of mortality in each nation or part of a nation.
This study aimed to evaluate mortality rate risk factors in neonatal intensive care units in 5 General Hospitals in Giza for early prediction of the disease so early precautions and treatment.
This prospective study was conducted on 155 Egyptian neonates to evaluate mortality rate risk factor at 5 General Hospitals in Giza NICU in the period from August 2021 to December 2021. The inclusion criteria were all neonates admitted to NICU 5 General Hospitals in Giza for who were followed up till discharge or death. The exclusion criteria were all healthy neonates not admitted to NICU. For all participants clinical data were collected from maternal and neonatal records.
Incidence of neonatal mortality rate in 5 General Hospitals in Giza NICU was 15.5 Prematurity, Sepsis, Respiratory Distress Syndrome, low birth weight, Mechanical ventilation, Positive history of Maternal Illness and Infection are considered as significant predictors (risk factors) of neonate mortality.
Because preterm labour and low birth weight are the two main risk factors for newborn fatalities, comprehensive programs for prenatal care, labour and delivery, and postpartum care are advised.
The finest incubator for a premature baby is the uterus, hence preterm births should be avoided and moms with high-risk pregnancies should be transferred to tertiary per-natal hospitals before giving birth.
The creation of tactics to deal with these problems is essential for further reducing NICU fatalities.
