Determinants of mortality among preterm neonates admitted at Wolaita Sodo University Comprehensive Specialized Hospital, southern Ethiopia: An unmatched case-control study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Preterm birth accounts about 1 million neonatal deaths worldwide and the second causes of both neonatal and under five-child mortality. From this preterm is the second leading cause of death and is steadily increased in low-income countries. In Ethiopia, Preterm neonatal death is the first and fourth cause of newborn and under-5 deaths, respectively. Although the general newborn mortality rate in the research area was 27 per 1000 neonates, but the preterm neonatal mortality rate and determinants were not previously well recognized. This study aimed to identify the Determinants of preterm neonatal mortality admitted to WSUCSH, with some variations from other studies carried out in in terms of the environment, hospital setting and the inclusion of additional factors.
