Pediatrics, 1984
To the Editor.— Shapiro et al1 are properly cautious in attributing any decline in neonatal mortality to the use of neonatal intensive care. There was no decrease in mortality in 1976, the first year of their area-wide program, when compared with the 1974 to 1975 base line.2 Furthermore, the 17.9% decline in neonatal mortality between ...

Perinatal and neonatal mortality in the advent of the neonatal network
British Journal of Hospital Medicine, 2010Infant mortality is highest during the neonatal period. The provision of medical care for low birth weight and premature babies is challenging. Neonatal networks aim to improve outcome, optimize efficiency and increase the quality of care for these infants.

Size at birth and neonatal and postneonatal mortality
Acta Paediatrica, 2002Birthweight is a crude indicator of size at birth. Some neonatologists and obstetricians have advocated the use of ponderal index and birthlength to characterize size at birth. This paper examines the associations between various size‐at‐birth indicators and neonatal and postneonatal mortality, with an emphasis on ponderal index and birthlength.

Morbidity and mortality in neonatal kittens
American Journal of Veterinary Research, 1984SUMMARY The mortality patterns of 294 Domestic Shorthair kittens indicated that birth weight was closely related to survivability. Slightly over half of the nonsurviving kittens lost at 0 to 3 days of life were stillborn. Abnormal gross anatomy did not appear to be a major factor in neonatal kitten death.

Neonatal Mortality Determinants in Jamaica
Journal of Tropical Pediatrics, 1990The Jamaican Perinatal Survey included among its objectives the quantification of the island's neonatal mortality rate, the identification of the causes of these deaths (Wigglesworth Classification), and the determination of characteristics of both mother and infant that are associated with increased mortality.

Strategies for reduction of neonatal mortality
Irish Journal of Medical Science, 1999Infant mortality rates in developed countries have shown significant decreases in recent years. Two-thirds of infant mortality still occurs in the neonatal period and our aim in this study was to review the causes of these neonatal deaths and see where further improvements may be possible.

FETAL GROWTH AND NEONATAL MORTALITY
Pediatrics, 1972Birth weight and calculated fetal age traditionally have served to predict risk of dying in the newborn period. Birth weight describes new-born infants inadequately, and calculated or estimated fetal age is uncertain. In the present study, well-defined fetal growth patterns observed in newborn infants replaced birth weight; crown-heel length was ...

On the role of infections in neonatal mortality
The Journal of Pediatrics, 1960Summary Carefully conducted postmortem studies in relatively large series of stillborn fetuses and of infants dying in the neonatal period indicate that infection is a much more frequent primary cause of death than is indicated by vital statistics. Furthermore, in an even greater number of infants whose primary cause of death is attributed to some ...

Reducing Black Neonatal Mortality
JAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association, 1985To the Editor.— The important article by Binkin et al 1 has added the most convincing evidence to date that black newborns have lower mortality rates in all weight-specific groups under 3,000 g. Because there has been recent criticism that studies performed years ago should not be relied on, 2 the authors' results, which confirm and extend the 1960 ...
