  • Neonatal Medicine
  • Pediatrics

Background:

  • Infant mortality remains a significant public health challenge in many regions.
  • Neonatal mortality constitutes a substantial proportion of overall infant deaths.
  • Understanding the determinants of neonatal mortality is crucial for targeted interventions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the causes and contributing factors of neonatal mortality in Meerut district.
  • To determine the rates of infant and neonatal mortality in the study area.
  • To identify gaps in healthcare delivery and maternal health practices.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of neonatal mortality data from Meerut district.
  • Data collection on place of birth, attendant at delivery, and postnatal care received.

  • Assessment of maternal immunization status and causes of neonatal death.

    • Main Results:

    • The infant mortality rate was 50.1 per 1000 live births; neonatal mortality rate was 19.0 per 1000 live births.
    • 90.5% of neonates experiencing mortality were born at home, often attended by untrained personnel (57.2%).
    • Tetanus neonatorum and septicaemia were the primary causes of neonatal death, each with a rate of 4.7 per 1000 live births.

    Conclusions:

    • Home deliveries by untrained personnel and inadequate maternal tetanus immunization are critical factors in neonatal mortality.
    • Exogenous factors contribute significantly to neonatal deaths, emphasizing the need for improved skilled birth attendance and neonatal care.
    • Urgent interventions are required to enhance perinatal care services and maternal health education in Meerut district.
