Abstract:
R educing neonatal mortality rate (NMR) globally to 12 per 1000 livebirths by 2030 is one of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). One effective way to achieve this is by identifying the most vulnerable population for targe ted intervention. This is especially important for large resource constrain ed countries like India whose accelerated progress in reducing NMR will gre atly move the world closer to the attainment of this SDG.  We perform a ret rospective analysis of prospectively collected National Family Health Surve y round 4 (NFHS IV) data from India for 2015-16. We identify history of neo natal death as an important predictor for neonatal mortality in univariate and multivariate logistic analyses. NMR among livebirths with such a histor y was compared to those without, while adjusting for environmental, and bio logical risk factors, and factors related to antenatal care.
