| Abstract | ||||
| Due to the increased risk of death and morbidity for neonates admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU), admission to the NICU is a significant determinant of neonatal outcomes. Admission to the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) may be necessary in some cases due to certain symptoms or risk factors. Babies who are born prematurely or for obvious medical reasons, such severe abnormalities or very low birthweight, are admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) ahead of schedule. Our study aims to document the number, disease pattern, severity of illness and different therapeutic modalities of neonates admitted to NICUs and to determine survival status, incidence rate and predictors of neonatal death among neonates admitted to neonatal intensive care units of Sohag University Hospitals A Hospital- based prospective cohort study lasted for one year from June, 2023 to June 2024 included 392 neonates presented to Neonatal Intensive Care Units in Pediatric Department in Sohag University Hospitals, Sohag, Egypt. The data was collected from the studied participants through full personal and medical history, general and systemic examination, laboratory and radiological examination, severity of illness was determined by Apgar score, MSNS or SNAP Π (Score for Neonatal Acute Physiology Π) and Downes score | ||||
