Newborn morbidities and care procedures at the special newborn care units of Gandaki Province, Nepal: a retrospective study
The study showed that newborns suffered from multiple health complications such as sepsis, hyperbilirubinemia, or asphyxia, and many newborns received essential medical services from hospitals. Birth weight, sex of the newborn, and respiratory distress syndrome were significantly associated with neonatal mortality. Hospitals should focus on reinforcing KMC, neonatal resuscitation, and early infection control measures.
