Incidence, risk factors and outcomes of neonatal near miss in Lagos, Nigeria: a prospective case-control study.
Article in BMC pediatrics, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundNeonatal near miss (NNNM) refers to a newborn aged 0-28 days old who had a life-threatening event but survived either by chance or the quality of care received. Studies on neonatal near misses are lacking in Nigeria. This study determined the incidence, risk factors, and outcome of neonatal near misses among Lagos Island Maternity Hospital newborns.
methodsA hospital-based unmatched case-control study was conducted in Lagos Island Maternity Hospital (161 cases and 321 controls). This study identified and adapted the neonatal near miss from the WHO maternal near miss tools, in which the newborn encountered at least one of the following criteria (pragmatic, management, clinical/laboratory/organ dysfunction marker) but survived the complications. We followed up with the neonates and assessed neonatal outcomes on the 28th day of life. Bivariate and multivariable logistic regression analyses were performed, and OR, 95% CI, and p-values reported.
resultsThe incidence of NNNM was 198 per 1000 live births. The significant risk factors associated with NNNM were higher education (AOR = 3.12, 95% CI: 1.84-5.28) for NNNM, referral from another facility (AOR = 4.45, 95% CI: 2.56-7.71), ≥ four ANC visits (AOR = 0.27, 95% CI: 0.09-0.87) Antenatal admission (AOR = 2.19, 95% CI: 1.16-4.10), having fetal monitoring during labour (AOR = 3.31, 95%CI: 1.99-5.49), HDP (AOR = 2.71, 95%Cl = 1.21-6.09). The neonatal outcome on the 28th day of life revealed that all newborns recruited in this study survived even though a significant number remained on admission in the NICU.
conclusionsThe incidence of NNNM was high among our study population. The factors associated with NNNM were maternal education, ANC, pregnancy and delivery complications. Therefore, there is a need for policymakers and healthcare professionals to focus on NNNM by identifying life-threatening conditions for mothers and neonates during pregnancy, delivery, and the immediate postpartum period.
