| dc.description.abstract | Neonatal mortality is estimated to be high in many developing countries but, very few studies were conducted in this area. To illucidate the magnitude of neonatal mortality and identify its determinants, a descriptive cross sectional study on a cohort of newborns was carried out in Addis Ababa health institutions between November 8 to January 19 1994. A total of 1334 newborns participated in the study . Baseline information on the risk behavior of the mother and child characteristics were recorded just after delivery. Then follow up interview were carried out by visiting each neonate at home on the 7th and 28th day . In this study the prevalence of neonatal mortality was found to be 71.9 per 1000 live birth with early and late neonatal mortality of 50 . 9 and 20.9 live birth respectively. LOW birth weight babies, premature babies and babies born from mothers who were not family planning users were found to be at higher risk of neonatal death using both bi variate and multi - variate analysis. The study concluded neonatal mortality is very high and strengthening of neonatal care facilities and further study to determine the prevalence rate of neonatal mortality among home deliveries are recommended | en_US |
