Background: Preterm neonates are more prone for mortality and acute morbidity. Preterm neonates born in developing nations are at higher risk of mortality. This study was carried out to find the morbidity and mortality profile of preterm neonates admitted to Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) at tertiary care teaching hospital, Mandya Materials and methods: A retrospective case record review and analysis of data related to preterm neonates admitted to the NICU during study period of January 2021 to December 2021 was carried and analyzed using appropriate statistical tools Results: 938 preterm neonates were admitted during study period, majority were male. 52.77 % of neonates were of gestational age 34- 37 weeks, 74.31 % neonates were of weight 1.5- 2.5 Kg. Morbidity causes were sepsis (26.76 %), followed by jaundice (21.96 %) and RDS (17.91 %). Mortality rate of preterm neonates was 6.84 %. RDS was the primary reason for majority of preterm neonate death (65.62 %), followed by sepsis (14.06 %), HIE (10.94 %) and congenital malformations (7.82 %) Conclusion: Premature birth leads to significant morbidity and mortality. RDS, jaundice, sepsis and HIE were the important causes of morbidity. RDS, sepsis and HIE were the major contributors for mortality. Mortality of preterm neonates was significantly high in neonates of gestational age < 28 weeks and birth weight of < 1 Kg. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
