<p>A total of 1,483 medical records of new-born were reviewed. The prevalence of neonatal mortality was 8.9% (n=132/1483). Neonatal mortality was significantly associated with extreme low birth weight (adjusted odds ratio [AOR]: 14.4, 95% CI 6.6 – 31.8), length of hospital stay (AOR: 12.7, 95% CI 6.7 – 24.5), malformation (AOR:11.7, 95% CI 4.8 – 28.7), Apgar score ≤ 6 (AOR: 8.1, 95% C.I 3.6 – 18.4), prematurity (AOR: 6.1, 95% CI 3.4 – 11.1), very low birth weight (AOR: 5.6, 95% CI 2.6 – 12.3), asphyxia (AOR: 5.3, 95% C.I 2.6 – 11.0), neonatal infection (AOR: 3.8, 95% CI 1.9 – 7.6), infants aged ≤ 7 days (AOR: 3.5, 95% C.I 1.6 – 8.0),and caesarean section (AOR:1.6,95% C.I 1.0 – 2.8).</p>
