Most mothers were younger than 30\u2009years, housewives and had secondary education. Pregnancy registration rate and adequacy of antenatal visits were high. Most preterm births were singleton and the predominant mode of delivery was cesarean section. More than half of the births were initiated spontaneously, and the male:female ratio was 1.2:1. Most babies were late preterm and low birth weight. Half of them required NICU admission. Overall mortality rate was 11% and 21.6% for admitted preterm neonates. Preterm small-for-gestational-age neonates, and those born after provider-initiated preterm birth had significantly increased risk of mortality. Most preterm neonates were discharged without complications. The rate of extrauterine growth restriction was high.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n
