Mortality Child Early

Child mortality is one of the most important problems facing parents and society as a whole. It can be caused by various factors such as genetic diseases, infections, accidents and other reasons.

One of the most common forms of child mortality is early childhood mortality. This happens in the first days or months of a child’s life, when he has not yet had time to adapt to the new environment. Early infant mortality can be caused by many factors, including prematurity, genetic disorders, infections and other health problems.

To reduce child mortality, it is necessary to carry out preventive measures, such as vaccination, monitoring the nutrition and health of the mother, as well as improving the living conditions of children. It is also important to raise parents' awareness of the risks and how to prevent them.

However, despite all efforts, early child mortality remains a serious problem. Every year, about 4 million children die in the first days of life, accounting for about 20% of total newborn deaths. This is very alarming and requires serious measures to be taken to address this problem.

In conclusion, early childhood mortality is a serious problem that requires attention and action from society and the government. Preventative measures and increased risk awareness among parents are needed to reduce the mortality rate of children and ensure a healthy and happy future for them.

Initial **infantile precociousness**, or **neonatal**, otherwise **mortality** is the frequency of cases where newborns die in the first 28 days of life. According to the World Health Organization, neonatal mortality accounts for 5-6% of the total number of newborns in the world. Since 6.5–9% of infants die at birth, child mortality is actually defined as the proportion of mothers who have at least one child die. If there are several deceased children, then these statistics take into account the overall mortality of specific births [1].

Causes of infant mortality

According to WHO, neonatal and postneonatal childhood (following within 4 weeks after the birth of the baby) mortality together account for more than 90% of child mortality before the first year of life (4 times more often at the age of 0 to 3 months) [2]

Infant mortality is also many times higher than maternal death. If the frequency of maternal death is taken to be 1 case per thousand births, then the number of cases of neonatal mortality will be less than 25 cases per thousand live births, and the number of dead children aged 1–7 years will be slightly higher than 50 cases. In the future - after the 7th year - the ratio is reversed: 1 child out of 600 born survives to the end of life. However, maternal mortality rates are higher in all regions of the world except Asian countries. Exactly
