Determinants of Neonatal Mortality in the Health Zone Kenge, DR Congo (2013-2016)
Journal Title: Biomedical Journal of Scientific & Technical Research (BJSTR) - Year 2019, Vol 18, Issue 3
Abstract
Childbirth is a happy event in a family and procreation is the wish of the human society. However, when a Child is born with health problems or dies, it is a moral and social burden for the community. Child mortality is decreasing elsewhere in our global society, there is a lot aim to be done in developing countries, the DRC included. The main goal of this research Was to determine the causes of neonatal mortality at the Kenge area health During the period from 2013 to 2016. The study used an analytical method based was descriptive and correlational design with a sample size of 84 757 Amongst Deaths Recorded at the health area Kenge During the Above period. Results show That entre 2013 and 2016 the health area Kenge Recorded year average rate of 19. 2 Deaths of less than 28 days out of 1000 births Estimated Within a confidence interval of 95% and a Range of 9.5 to 24 Neonatal Deaths. This early neonatal mortality Was Explained by Several factors, purpose Mainly by mothers’ irresponsibility and immaturity as well as the distance to health centers, the lack of midwives and premium parity. These Were responsible of the bad status of the baby at delivery gold icts way of delivery and the APGAR persistence after-birth child. These resulted from Prematurity, dystocia, hypoxia and choke, and infections specific to the perinatal period, qui were found to be Among the Most Significant causes of child death. These determinants of neonatal mortality need to be taken in gravement Addressing the sustainable development goal No. 3 That Promotes maternal child health and wellbeing. 5 to 24 Neonatal Deaths.

However, when the child is born with a health problem or died at birth, this causes a moral and social disruption in the community. Although it has been observed that child mortality is declining in most parts of the world, it is still a major problem in developing countries, including the DRC. The main objective of this study was to determine the causes of neonatal mortality in the ZS Kenge in the period from 2013 to 2016. The study used an analytical method to estimate descriptive and correlational of a sample of 84 757enregistrés deaths in ZS Kenge during the above period. The results indicate that between 2013 and 2016, the ZS Kenge recorded a neonatal mortality rate of between 09.5 and 24 deaths less than 28 days 1,000 births with an annual average of 19.2 neonatal deaths. This rate was estimated at a 95% confidence interval. This early neonatal mortality was explained by several factors but mainly by the irresponsibility and immaturity of the mother and the distance of health centers, the lack of midwives and primiparity. These can be the causes of bad baby’s condition at birth or its mode of delivery and the persistence of APGAR after birth. These result among others of prematurity, dystocia, hypoxia and asphyxia, and specific infections in the perinatal period, who were among the most significant causes of death. These determinants of neonatal mortality should be taken seriously in order to achieve the objective of sustainable development No. 3 for the promotion of welfare and maternal health and child.
