Abstract

Mortality among preterms and post-terms were high (70.2% and 71%) respectively, while full terms showed the least mortality (37.9%). There was significant negative correlation between mortality and birth weight or gestational age when each was analysed alone. The most common cause of death in pre-term was Respiratory Distress (41.3%), while in full term and post-term cerebral insult was the first cause of death (30.8% and 40%) respectively. The results showed that in preterm the most fearfull morbidity was respiratory distress (51%) while in full term and post-term infection was the first cause of morbidity representing (43% and 50%) respectively.
