To evaluate mortality rates, clinical discharge outcomes, and associated risk factors among neonates admitted to a government neonatal intensive care unit.
Follow-up study analyzing clinical and demographic data from 450 neonates admitted to a government neonatal intensive care unit using semi-structured face-to-face interviews.
Evaluated outcome measures using independent t-tests and chi-square tests in SPSS.
Low birth weight was the most common cause of morbidity at 14.4%, whereas low birth weight combined with prematurity caused 56% of neonatal deaths.
The overall discharge rate was 64.4%, with favorable discharge significantly associated with birth weight (p=0.000), gestational age (p=0.001), length of stay (p=0.003), male sex (p=0.003), and newborn feeding (p=0.002).
