<p>This is a hospital based cross-sectional study. Neonatal and maternal records from January 2019 to December 2021 were reviewed using a structured data extraction form created in Epi Info 7.0. Records with missing data on cause of admission or outcome, and those with duplication, were excluded. Bivariate and multivariable logistic regression analyses were computed with corresponding 95% confidence intervals (95% CI) to assess associations between neonatal mortality and factors.</p>
