Abstract

Background & Objectives: Providing, maintainance and promotion of neonatal health as a special high-risk group has a special role in heath services. According to statistics, 4 million out of 130 million neonates, born every year, die in the first week of their life. 99% of this mortality takes place in developing countries. 38% of the deaths below the age of 5 belongs to neonatal deaths. To decrease this mortality, some factors such as mother condition (including health care both before and after pregnancy), perinatal factors and life-threatening factors in the first 28 days after birth. This study was performed in hospitals under Ardabil University of Medical Sciences to determine the related factors of NEONATAL MORTALITY.Methods: This case-control study was conducted on 160 neonatals (80 cases of neonatal deaths and 80 live births as controls). The demographic data of two groups were separately analyzed to obtain descriptive results. Also the most common causes of NEONATAL MORTALITY were obtained through studying cases. Moreover, the parents of live neonates were asked questions to evaluate the effect of social factors. Finally all of these related factors were compared.Results: From 160 neonates under study, 71 (44.4%) were female and others were male.NEONATAL MORTALITY in males was 1.3 times as much as that in females. 16 (12.1 %) mothers had history of still birth. 18 (11.3%) mothers were illiterate and 27 (16.9%) had college education. 31(19.4%) neonates were under 1500gr, 42 (26.3%) 1500- 2500gr and others above 2500 gr. 37 (46.3%) mothers in case group and 24(30%) in control had no access to transportation facilities. The most common causes for NEONATAL MORTALITY were PREMATURELY with 44 (55.1%) cases and ASPIRATION, septicemia, ASPHYXIA each one with 4 (2.5%) cases. There were statistically significant relationship between NEONATAL MORTALITY rate on the one hand and birth weight, access to transportation facilities and mothers, living place (rural or urban) (p=0.023).Conclusion: According to the results, factors such as birth weight, access to transportation facilities as well as the mothers' living location (rural or urban) were determining factors in the NEONATAL MORTALITY. Some measures seem necessary to by taken in order to decrease the effect of thses factors.
