Background:Globally,the proportion of child deaths that occur in the neonatal period remains a high level of 37-41%.Differences of cause in neonate death exist in different regions as well as in different economic development *** specific aim of this study was to investigate the causes,characteristics,and differences of death in neonates during hospitalization in the tertiary Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) of ***:All the dead neonates admitted to 26 NICUs were included between January 1,2011,and December 31,*** the data were collected retrospectively from clinical records by a designed *** collected from each NICU were delivered to the leading institution where the results were ***:A total of 744 newborns died during the l-year survey,accounting for 1.2% of all the neonates admitted to 26 NICUs and 37.6% of all the deaths in children under 5 years of age in these *** neonate death accounted for 59.3% of all the *** leading causes of death in preterm and term infants were pulmonary disease and infection,*** early neonate period,pulmonary diseases (56.5%) occupied the largest proportion ofpreterm deaths while infection (27%) and neurologic diseases (22%) were the two main causes of term *** late neonate period,infection was the leading cause of both preterm and term neonate *** two-thirds of neonate death occurred after medical care *** the cases who might survive if receiving continuing treatment,parents' concern about the long-term outcomes was the main reason of medical care ***:Neonate death still accounts for a high proportion of all the deaths in children under 5 years of *** study showed the majority of neonate death occurred in preterm *** of death varied with the age of death and gestational *** and prompt evaluation of the long-term outcomes should be carried out to guide the critical decision.
