(1) The African Region's neonatal death rate is the highest in the world.

(2) No cases of maternal or neonatal death or eclampsia were recorded.

(3) Neonatal death and stillbirth are the most severe adverse pregnancy outcomes.

(4) Conclusion Advocating the autopsy, clear and definite neonatal death cause, and decreasing a wrong diagnosis.

(5) Objective To study forensic pathological characteristics of neonatal death caused by respiratory diseases, and to provide scientific evidence to resolve medical tangle cases.

(6) Methods 85 autopsy cases of neonatal death, documented by Public Security Bureau of Panzhihua city from 1993 to 2008, were reviewed.

(7) Relative risks were calculated to evaluate the associations between potential risk factors and neonatal death.

(8) Iron and folic acid supplementation during pregnancy in Indonesia significantly reduced the risk of early neonatal death and could also do so in other low- and middle-income countries.

(9) More than half (57.8%) of the women who died and one-third (33.7%) of those who experienced a perinatal death (i.e. a stillbirth or early neonatal death) had sought skilled attendance.

(10) Multivariate Cox proportional hazards models were used to identify factors linked to early neonatal death.

(11) Objectives: The incidence of prematurity is about 5-10%, but it causes 85% of neonatal death (excluding serious congenital malformations).

(12) In pregnant women with untreated early syphilis, 25% of pregnancies result in stillbirth and 14% in neonatal death – an overall perinatal mortality of about 40%.

(13) In pregnant women with untreated early syphilis, 25% of pregnancies result in stillbirth and 14% in neonatal death.

(14) Results: The perinatal morbidity was 3.01 % , the fetal death was 35.75 % , the stillbirth was 26.09 % , the neonatal death was 38.16 %.

(15) Of the 20 countries with the highest maternal mortality ratios worldwide, 19 are in Africa; and the Region has the highest neonatal death rate in the world.

(16) Intracranial hemorrhage in newborn babies is not only a very common disease, but also an important cause of neonatal death.

(17) Pulmonary hypoplasia(PH)may lead to severe respiratory distress immediately after birth, even neonatal death.

(18) The National Toxicology Program expressed "negligible concern" that exposure of pregnant women to BPA causes fetal or neonatal death, birth defects or reduced birth weight and growth in babies.

(19) Of the 40 576 infants included, 442 experienced early neonatal death.

(20) Preterm birth, Caesarean section and intrapartum complications were associated with neonatal death.
