Abstract

Perinatal asphyxia is a leading cause of neonatal morbidity and mortality. Also, it is the fifth leading cause of death in children under 5 years of age. With the decline in neonatal mortality, the morbidity after birth asphyxia in the form of neurodevelopment sequelae is same or even increased due to survival of asphyxiated babies. The rate of decline of NMR lags behind Infant and under five child mortality rates. Hence, we endeavor to determine early outcome of perinatal asphyxia and the factors responsible for the outcome in neonates admitted in Special Newborn Care Unit at Bundelkhand Medical College, Sagar.
