Abstract

Background The first week of life of a neonate is a critical period.
In Asia, early neonatal mortality rate remains high.
Objective To investigate early neonatal mortality rate and the risk
factors in Wangaya Hospital.
Methods A cross sectional study was carried out retrospectively
on neonates registered at Perinatology Unit, Wangaya Hospital
Denpasar, Bali since January 2006. The study was done from
October to November 2007. Data was obtained from medical
record, analyzed as univariate using chi-square test or Fisher's
exact test and multivariate logistic regression analysis model.
Results Early neonatal mortality rate in Wangaya Hospital was 38.7
per 1000 livebirths. Univariate analyses showed that there were
five significant risk factors of early neonatal death, i.e., respiratory
distress, asphyxia, birth weight less than 2500 grams, sepsis, and
gestational age less than 3 7 weeks. Multivariate analysis showed
that those five variables were significant as risk factors of early
neonatal death i.e., OR (95% confidence interval) for respiratory
distress: 16.8 (3.7 to 76.6)], asphyxia: 13.5 (6.1 to 29.9)], birth
weight <2500 grams: 8.1 (3.3 to 19.9)], sepsis: 7.3 (3.1 to 17.1),
and gestational age <37 weeks: 3.5 (1.6 to 7.8)].
Conclusions Early neonatal mortality rate in Wangaya Hospital
remains high. Respiratory distress, asphyxia, birth weight <2500
gram, sepsis, and gestational age <37 weeks were independent risk
factors of early neonatal death.
