This study analyzed neonatal ward admissions, finding infections and specific conditions like hyaline membrane disease caused most issues. Early detection of high-risk pregnancies significantly reduces newborn morbidity and mortality.

Area of Science:

  • Neonatal Medicine
  • Pediatric Critical Care
  • Public Health

Context:

  • Neonatal wards face challenges in managing high-risk newborns.
  • A significant percentage of births require specialized neonatal care.
  • Understanding common pathologies is crucial for effective ward management.

Purpose:

  • To identify the primary causes of morbidity and mortality in a neonatal ward.
  • To analyze the outcomes of newborns admitted to a second-level neonatal unit.
  • To provide recommendations for improving neonatal care and reducing adverse events.

Summary:

  • Retrospective analysis of 213 neonatal admissions revealed infections (28.1%) as a major concern.
  • Common causes of mortality included hyaline membrane disease, intracranial hemorrhage, hypoxic encephalopathy, and septicemia.
