Area of Science:

  • Neonatal Health
  • Public Health Research
  • Epidemiology

Context:

  • Diamaré, Cameroon faces a significant challenge with neonatal mortality.
  • Understanding the specific causes and contributing factors is crucial for intervention.

Purpose:

  • To determine the neonatal mortality rate in Diamaré.
  • To identify the primary causes of newborn deaths.
  • To analyze factors associated with neonatal mortality.

Summary:

  • A retrospective cross-sectional study in 11 health facilities (2018-2019) recorded 208 neonatal deaths out of 29,209 live births (71/100,000).
  • Early neonatal period deaths (85.6%) predominated, with respiratory distress, prematurity, and fever as main causes.
  • Associated factors included asphyxia (p=0.007) and neonatal infection (p=0.042).

Impact:

  • The study highlights a high neonatal mortality rate in Diamaré.
  • Findings underscore the need for targeted interventions addressing asphyxia and neonatal infections to reduce preventable newborn deaths.
