Neonatal mortality and associated factors among neonates admitted to neonatal intensive care units at public hospitals in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundGlobally, approximately 2.4 million neonatal mortalities occur each year, accounting for nearly half of all under-five mortalities. The neonatal period is the most vulnerable time for survival, in which newborns face the highest risk of death, and factors for neonatal mortality vary from place to place and time to time. This study aimed to assess neonatal mortality and its associated factors among neonates admitted to neonatal intensive care units at public hospitals in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.
methodsAn institution-based retrospective cross-sectional chart review was carried out at public hospitals in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. The systematic sampling method was used to include 313 neonates who were admitted to the intensive care unit from 1st August 2023 to 30 July 2024. Data were collected via a structured checklist, entered into epi data 3.1, and then analyzed via the Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) version 25. Descriptive statistics were used to summarize the data. Bivariable and multivariable logistic regression analyses were employed with statistical significance declared at a p value < 0.05.
resultsTwenty-seven (8.6%) neonates (95% CI: 5.8, 11.4) died. Mothers experienced hemorrhage (AOR = 2.89; 95% CI: (1.11, 7.36), pregnancy induced hypertension (AOR = 1.98; 95% CI: (1.23, 3.29), prolonged membrane rupture (AOR = 3.56; 95% CI: (1.19, 10.69), instrumental vaginal delivery (AOR = 5.74; 95% CI: (1.52, 12.78) and resuscitation (AOR = 3.69; 95% CI: (1.16, 11.75)) were significantly associated with neonatal mortality.
conclusionThe present study finding revealed a slightly lower neonatal mortality rates compared to the previous report findings in Ethiopia. However, neonatal mortality remains a critical public health concern, and thus, stakeholders need to develop interventions that all risk factors into consideration.
