Males had a higher burden. A substantial disparity was observed: the age-standardized mortality rate in low-SDI regions was 22 times that of high-SDI regions. Western Sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia carried the highest burden. Low birth weight accounted for 58.4% DALYs of NE globally, with a disproportionate effect in low- and middle-SDI regions.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Despite an overall reduction in the global NE burden, it remains disproportionately concentrated in resource-limited settings. Persistent disparities in low- and middle-SDI regions necessitate urgent, targeted interventions\u2014including scaled-up perinatal care, strengthened health infrastructure, and region-specific strategies\u2014to mitigate inequities. Middle- to high-SDI countries must address evolving epidemiological patterns.
