Abstract
Respiratory distress (RD) is the most common problem in newborns and it is the main factor contributing to newborn mortality worldwide. It remains the major reason for NICU admission, morbidity, and mortality among newborns in Africa. Preventing neonatal respiratory distress by anticipating its determinant factors is crucial for low-resource countries like Ethiopia.
