    Administering phenobarbitone to pregnant women before delivery significantly reduces mortality rates in low-birth-weight infants by over 50%. High-risk pregnancies and newborns not receiving maternal treatment benefit from this intervention.

    Area of Science:

    • Neonatal Medicine
    • Pharmacology

    Background:

    • Low-birth-weight infants face significantly higher mortality rates.
    • Antenatal interventions are crucial for improving neonatal outcomes.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy of phenobarbitone in reducing mortality rates for low-birth-weight infants.
    • To identify optimal administration strategies for phenobarbitone in high-risk pregnancies and neonates.

    Main Methods:

    • Oral administration of 100 mg phenobarbitone daily for at least three days before delivery.
    • Intramuscular injections of phenobarbitone to newborns at 8-hour intervals if maternal treatment was inadequate.

    Main Results:

    • A reduction of 50% or more in various mortality rates for low-birth-weight infants.

  • Phenobarbitone demonstrated significant benefits in both antenatal and postnatal settings.

    • Conclusions:

    • Antenatal phenobarbitone administration is a highly effective method for reducing low-birth-weight infant mortality.
    • Targeted use in high-risk pregnancies and postnatal administration for inadequately treated infants are recommended strategies.
