Neonates who died within an hour, whose parents left the hospital against medical advice, and not willing to participate were excluded. Demographic, maternal, and neonatal clinical parameters and transport data were collected. Clinical diagnosis was done by using standard definitions. All the neonates were followed up till discharge or death. Mortality rate and risk factors of mortality were identified. Chi-square test, Mann\u2013Whitney test, and unpaired \u201c\n t<\/jats:italic>\n \u201d test were used for comparison between survival and nonsurvival neonates. Univariate and multiple logistic regression models were used to identify independent risk factors of mortality by adjusted odds ratio and 95% confidence interval.\n P<\/jats:italic>\n < 0.05 was considered as significant.\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results:<\/jats:title>\n \n Inadequate antenatal care (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] 1.93, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.00\u20133.78,\n P<\/jats:italic>\n = 0.04), increased travelling distance (aOR 1.00, 95% CI 1.00\u20131.00,\n P<\/jats:italic>\n < 0.0001), preterm birth (aOR 0.89, 95% CI 0.85\u20130.93,\n P<\/jats:italic>\n < 0.0001), abnormal respiratory rate (aOR 0.97,95% CI 0.96\u20130.98,\n P<\/jats:italic>\n = 0.001), abnormal heart rate (aOR 0.96, 95% CI 0.95\u20130.98,\n P<\/jats:italic>\n < 0.0001), hypothermia (aOR 0.72, 95% CI 0.54\u20130.96,\n P<\/jats:italic>\n = 0.02), low oxygen saturation (aOR 0.90, 95% CI 0.87\u20130.93,\n P<\/jats:italic>\n < 0.0001), and poor perfusion (aOR 1.93, 95% CI 1.68\u20132.21,\n P<\/jats:italic>\n < 0.0001) were the independent risk factors of mortality.\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n Inadequate antenatal care, increased travelling distance, preterm birth, abnormal respiratory rate, abnormal heart rate, hypothermia, low oxygen saturation, and poor perfusion are independent predictors of mortality.
