Survival status and predictors of mortality among neonates admitted to neonatal intensive care unit at Bichena Primary Hospital, Northwest Ethiopia. A retrospective cohort study
The study found a high rate of neonatal mortality, exceeding rates reported in other regions of Ethiopia. Most predictors were preventable and treatable. Therefore, early identification of obstetric complications, immediate interventions and postnatal care are crucial to reduce neonatal mortality and enhance overall neonatal outcomes.
