| dc.description.abstract | Background:Preterm low birthweightisoftenchallengingindevelopingcountries. Implementing specialized care including properfeeding practice isessentialfor treatingneonatestobringthem intoanormalrangeofweight.However,thereisa lackofresourcesforalternative feeding practicesinlow-income countrieswhich resultsinpoorpostnatalweightgainatdischarge.Thereisalsolittleornoevidence ofpostnatalweightgainandtheinfluencingfactorsinEthiopia Objective:theaim ofthisstudywastoassessthepostnatalweightgainandits predictorsamongPretermLowBirthWeightneonatesadmittedinneonatalintensive careunitatselectedpublichospitalsunit,2023 Method:ARetrospectivestudywasconductedon242neonateswhowereadmitted inneonatalintensivecareunitinthelast5years,inAddisAbabaselectedpublic hospitals.Thecalculatedsamplesizeforeachhospitalwasassignedproportionally.
