Overview

Cross-sectional study reveals higher neonatal mortality in rural areas, highlighting access to healthcare implications.

Key Points

  • Rural residence is linked to significantly higher neonatal mortality rates compared to urban areas.
  • 73% of neonatal deaths occurred in rural settings, with indicators like low birth weight contributing to this outcome.
  • Respiratory distress syndrome was the leading cause of mortality in rural neonates, while sepsis prevailed in urban samples.
  • These findings emphasize the need for improved maternal and neonatal healthcare access in rural communities.
