Abstract
Background
Birth asphyxia is a leading cause of infant morbidity and mortality in developing nations, such as Ethiopia. Though Ethiopia has made considerable achievement in the reduction of under-five mortality rate, the neonatal mortality burden has not experienced the same reduction, which may be attributed to birth asphyxia. The aim of this research was to identify where the gap is and solve the problem and address good neonatal outcome
Objective
The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence and associated factors of perinatal asphyxia among neonates admitted to neonatal intensive care unit in Arbaminch General Hospital, Southwest Ethiopia in the study period.
Method
An institution-based cross-sectional study design was conducted .A simple random sampling method was used to select 372 neonates. A structured checklist was used to collect the data and analysis by SPSS, version 25 (IBM). Binary logistic regression analysis was performed to assess factors associated with PNA among neonates administered to NICU of AGH.
Result
Out of 630 source population 372 neonates were selected using simple random sampling technique data was coded and enter in to computer based statistical package for the social science( SPSS) version 25 for analysis after being collected using structured checklist the prevalence of perinatal asphyxia in the study area was determined to be 21.4% .
After multivariate analysis Complication during labor, Mode of delivery, Presence of ANC visit and Presence of MSA found to be independent variables or predictors for in neonates admitted to NICU (p<0.05). That is AOR shows that those who didnÂ’t have complication during labor are 88.7% less likely to develop PNA than those who had complication during labor. Those neonates delivered by C/S are 11.35 times and those delivered by others (vacuum, forceps) are 3.37 times more likely to develop PNA than those delivered by SVD. Those who didnÂ’t have MSAF are 84.7% less likely to develop PNA than those who had MASAF.
