摘要

背景：在过去十年中，乌干达的新生儿死亡率一直停滞不前，为每1000名活产中有27人死亡。研究一致的因素可以为减少它的政策提供信息。数据来源和方法：我们在分析中使用了乌干达人口和健康调查（2001年至2016年）。结果：2016年，出生后未立即母乳喂养的儿童和具有多种母体危险因素的母亲的儿童新生儿死亡几率较高（分别为3.1和2.0）。产妇的危险因素包括：母亲年轻、年龄过大、生育间隔短或孩子多。男性新生儿的新生儿死亡率也高于女性新生儿。结论：有必要提高人们对新生儿出生后立即母乳喂养的重要性的认识。减少产妇风险因素的干预措施对于降低乌干达新生儿死亡率至关重要。方案需要采取措施，减少男性新生儿死亡人数多于女性。

Trends and determinants of neonatal mortality in Uganda: Analysis of the Uganda demographic and health surveys

Background : Uganda’s neonatal mortality has stagnated at 27 deaths per 1,000 live births over the past decade. Studying consistent factors could inform policy to reduce it. Data Source and Methods : We used Uganda Demographic and Health Surveys (2001 to 2016) in analyses. Results : Children who were not put on breast milk immediately after birth and children of mothers with multiple maternal risk factors were associated with higher odds (3.1 and 2.0 respectively) of neonatal deaths in 2016. The maternal risk factors include: young mothers, too old, short birth intervals or many children. Neonatal deaths was also higher among male compared to female newborns. Conclusion: There is a need to raise awareness about the importance of breastfeeding newborns immediately after birth. Interventions to reduce maternal risk factors are critical to reducing neonatal mortality in Uganda. Programmes need measures that can reduce more neonatal deaths among male than female.
