Survival status and predictors of mortality among thrombocytopenic neonates admitted at comprehensive specialized hospital neonatal intensive care units in East Amhara, Ethiopia, 2023 a multi-center prospective follow-up study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Thrombocytopenia, defined as a platelet count of less than 150 × 10⁹/L of blood, is one of the most commonly encountered hematological disorders in sick newborn infants globally. This is a major concern, especially in resource-constrained countries like Ethiopia. Given the significant burden of neonatal thrombocytopenia, gathering current research on factors that predict mortality and survival status is critical to address this issue. However, there is a scarcity of information regarding neonatal thrombocytopenia in the specific study area.

Objective

To assess survival status and predictors of mortality among thrombocytopenic neonates admitted to comprehensive specialized hospital neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) in Ethiopia.
