Abstract

Background: Neonatal mortality remains a critical global challenge, with preventable instances prevailing. The initial stride in mitigating neonatal mortality involves elucidating its underlying causes.

Methods: This study utilized an umbrella review approach to discern factors associated with neonatal mortality. Five international databases, namely Pub Med, Web of Science, Scopus, CINAHL, and EMBASE, were meticulously searched to achieve this.

Results: The initial search yielded 12,631 articles using a search strategy centered on keywords related to factors contributing to neonatal mortality. Ultimately, 95 articles met the criteria incorporated into this study.

Conclusion: This study endeavors to identify the primary risk factors contributing to neonatal mortality. The discerned risk factors have been systematically categorized into four groups: maternal factors, neonatal factors, aspects linked to healthcare systems, and socio-economic factors. As such, it is imperative for policymakers to take heed of these identified risk factors and formulate comprehensive strategies encompassing both long-term and short-term initiatives. Effective interventions spanning various sectors are crucial for the prevention of neonatal mortality.

调查新生儿死亡原因：综述。

背景：新生儿死亡仍然是一个严峻的全球性挑战，可预防的情况普遍存在。降低新生儿死亡率的第一步是阐明其根本原因：本研究采用总括综述的方法，以找出与新生儿死亡相关的因素。为此，我们对 Pub Med、Web of Science、Scopus、CINAHL 和 EMBASE 五个国际数据库进行了细致的检索：最初的搜索采用了以导致新生儿死亡的因素相关关键词为中心的搜索策略，共搜索到 12631 篇文章。最终，95 篇文章符合本研究的标准：本研究致力于确定导致新生儿死亡的主要风险因素。所发现的风险因素被系统地分为四类：孕产妇因素、新生儿因素、与医疗保健系统相关的方面以及社会经济因素。因此，决策者必须重视这些已发现的风险因素，并制定包括长期和短期措施在内的综合战略。跨部门的有效干预对于预防新生儿死亡至关重要。

From 2001 issue, the Journal is published only in English language. During the last 41 years more than 2000 scientific research papers, results of health activities, surveys and services, have been published in this Journal. To meet the increasing demand of respected researchers, as of January 2012, the Journal is published monthly. I wish this will assist to promote the level of global knowledge. The main topics that the Journal would welcome are: Bioethics, Disaster and Health, Entomology, Epidemiology, Health and Environment, Health Economics, Health Services, Immunology, Medical Genetics, Mental Health, Microbiology, Nutrition and Food Safety, Occupational Health, Oral Health.
