Abstract

Objective: To estimate the neonatal mortality rate, causes and factors associated to newborn deaths in Diamaré in Cameroon.

Patients and methods: It was an analytical and retrospective cross-sectional study. The period of the study was from January 1^st 2018 to December 31^st 2019 in 11 health facilities in Diamaré. The Chi 2 test was used to analyze factors associated to neonatal mortality.

Results: A total of 208neonatal deaths out of 29,209 live births were recorded, representing a neonatal death rate of 71 per 100,000 live births. The study showed that neonatal mortality mainly occurred in the early neonatal period 178 cases (85.6%). Neonatal mortality was predominant among girls 121 cases (58.2%). The main reasons for admission linked to neonatal deaths were respiratory distress 44 (21.4%), prematurity 37 (18.0%) and fever 32 (15.5%). The factors associated with neonatal deaths were asphyxia (p=0.007) and neonatal infection (p=0.042) occurring during the ultra-early and late periods respectively.

Conclusion: The neonatal mortality rate was high in Diamaré. These deaths were associated with asphyxia and neonatal infection.

[喀麦隆迪亚玛雷新生儿死亡率的相关因素]。

目的估算喀麦隆迪亚玛雷地区的新生儿死亡率、新生儿死亡原因及相关因素：这是一项分析性和回顾性横断面研究。研究时间为2018年1月1日至2019年12月31日，涉及迪亚玛雷的11家医疗机构。采用Chi 2检验分析与新生儿死亡相关的因素：在29 209名活产婴儿中，共有208名新生儿死亡，新生儿死亡率为每10万活产婴儿71例。研究显示，新生儿死亡主要发生在新生儿早期，共 178 例（85.6%）。新生儿死亡主要发生在女婴身上 121 例（58.2%）。与新生儿死亡有关的主要入院原因是呼吸窘迫 44 例（21.4%）、早产 37 例（18.0%）和发烧 32 例（15.5%）。新生儿死亡的相关因素是窒息（P=0.007）和新生儿感染（P=0.042），分别发生在超早期和晚期：结论：迪亚玛雷地区的新生儿死亡率很高。这些死亡与窒息和新生儿感染有关。
