About

The neonatal period considered the time from birth up to the first 28 days of life & further classified into:

• Very early birth (birth to < 24 hours).
• Early birth (24 hours to < 7 days).
• Late or last neonatal period (7 days to 28 days).

It is characterized by the transition from extra uterine life and rapid growth and development. It is the common vulnerable time or period of human life as it accounts for more high mortalities and morbidities, however, most of them are preventable.

The pattern of neonatal disease is a useful indicator of the availability, utilization and effectiveness of maternal and child health care services.

It varies from place to place and from time to time even in the same locality. Information on admission and mortality patterns of hospitalized neonates should reflect the major causes of illnesses and standard of care provided to neonates in a particular locality.

To improve neonatal services with better overall outcomes and less sever morbidities early identification of the risk factors is paramount so that appropriate interventions can be directed towards the most prevalent and treatable neonatal illnesses. To achieve this goal, it is important to study the pattern of neonatal admissions
