| dc.description.abstract | Background: In neonatal period, babies are very susceptible for many disease conditions. This susceptibility will double in neonates who are preterm or low-birth weight. Even if it is so, most of the causes of neonatal morbidity and mortality are avoidable. Objective: To assess pattern of admissions and treatment outcome of neonates in Neonatal Intensive Care Unit located at Tikur Anbessa specialized teaching hospital, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia Methodology: A hospital based retrospective cross sectional study was conducted at Tikur Anbessa Specialized Teaching Hospital from Dec. – June 2017. A total of 304 neonates were included in the study from NICU of the hospital. The collected data was checked for its completeness manually and then entered and analyzed using SPSS window version 20 statistical software package. bivariate and multivariate logistic regression was done to identify factors that were associated with the final treatment outcome of neonate. The odds ratio with 95% Confidence interval was used to determine the association. A statistical significance was declared at p value<0.05. Result: During the study period a total of 1000 neonates were admitted to NICU. This study considered taking 304 neonates by using correction formula, from this sample of neonate age from 1 up to 3days count 184(60.5%). Regarding sex 172(56.6%) of them were male and the rest 132(43.4%) were female. Majority of the neonates 198(67.8%) were born at term. The leading cause of admission was early onset neonatal sepsis(EONS)which accounts 152(50%) of the total population. About the outcome 253(83.2%) were improved and discharged.
