<p><strong>Results</strong>: A total of 85 cases and 27 deaths (31.8% case fatality rate) were identified. Antimicrobial resistance for Amikacin, Ceftazidime, Meropenem, Cotrimoxazole, Ciprofloxacin and Gentamycin were three percent, 92.9%, 93%, 98.4%, 98,6% and 100% respectively. After multi-variate regression, a 5th minute APGAR score&lt;7 (AOR=2.8, 95% CI:1.52-5.218, P=0.001), birth weight &lt;2500gm (AOR=2.7, 95% CI:1.425-4.946, P=0.002), continuous positive airway pressure treatment (AOR=2.4, 95% CI:1.248-4.731, P=0.009), glucose treatment (AOR=2.0, 95% CI:1.029-3.824, P=0.041) and maleness (AOR=1.9, 95% CI:1.047-3.504, P=0.035) were associated factors.&nbsp;</p>
