Mortality Neonatal

Neonatal mortality (from Greek neos - new and Latin natus - birth) is the mortality of newborns in the first month of life (0-27 days).

Neonatal mortality is divided into early neonatal mortality (death within the first 7 days of life) and late neonatal mortality (death between 8 and 27 days of life).

The main causes of neonatal mortality are congenital anomalies, premature birth, asphyxia and birth trauma, and infections.

Reducing neonatal mortality is one of the main goals of healthcare. To achieve this, measures are being taken to improve the quality of medical care for pregnant women, women in labor and newborns, and to introduce modern methods of resuscitation and intensive care for newborns.

Newborn mortality (neonatal)

*Newborn mortality* is a common problem associated with high mortality rates among newborns. It is a serious medical problem that requires immediate attention. In this article we will look at the concept of “*newborn mortality*”, the causes of its occurrence and methods of combating this problem.

Determination of neonatal mortality

Neonatal mortality is the total number of babies who die in the first thirty days of their life. The rate of newborn mortality varies around the world, and is usually 4–6% of the total number of children born. Neonatal mortality also varies by country of birth and socioeconomic factors. Thus, in developing countries the mortality rate of newborns is higher than in developed countries. Children from poor families have a higher risk of mortality as they are born prematurely and are susceptible to various infections and diseases.

It is important to note that newborn mortality not only affects the country's economy, but also affects the rights of the child himself. Doctors, nurses and all healthcare professionals know that they have a baby's life in their hands, and what they do at every stage of a newborn's development is extremely important and responsible.

Although the importance of neonatal mortality rates has been noted since ancient times, this problem
