ABSTRACT
Introduction: Neonatal mortality is defined as the newborn children’s
number who die before they reach 28 days of life. Infant mortality
rate in Mexico is 41% in the total deaths of under-five children.
Objective: To determinate the characteristics of neonatal mortality
in an institutional hospital.
Subjects and Methods: A descriptive, retrospective and longitudinal
study, of neonate’s deaths from years 2008 to 2012 at our
institution. We identified neonatal deaths by means of pediatrician’s
department records and we collected data from clinical files. We
included only clinical records of neonates whose death occurred
within the first 28 days of life and were attended at our institution.
We excluded incomplete or lost clinical records. We studied gender,
birth weight, gestational age, cause of death, co morbidity, prenatal
care, history of neonatal death and gestational pathology. We carried
descriptive statistics.
Results: Three-hundred and eight neonates’ deaths total were
studied; the age of gestation at birth was 30 ± 5 weeks (average and
standard deviation), birth weight 1944 ± 990 g. The main cause of
death was extreme immaturity 19% (58), followed by perinatal asphyxia
with 13% (41).
Conclusions: The main characteristics of neonatal mortality found
in this study are similar to those reported in the literature, considering
that extreme immaturity and prematurity are the characteristics
in which higher mortality was present, we must have an appropriate
prenatal control.
