Time to recovery and its predictors among neonates undergone phototherapy at Comprehensive Specialized hospitals of the Northwest Ethiopia.

Phototherapy is the preferred treatment for neonatal hyperbilirubinemia and has largely replaced exchange transfusions due to its effectiveness and safety. The primary aim of this study was to evaluate the time to recovery and its predictors among neonates undergoing phototherapy at the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit of the Northwest Comprehensive Specialized Hospital in Northwest Ethiopia. A multi-center institution-based retrospective follow-up study was conducted among 423 neonates admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit between September 2019 and December 2023, at Comprehensive Specialized Hospitals of Northwest Ethiopia.

Incidence and predictors of acute kidney injury among asphyxiated neonates in comprehensive specialized hospitals, northwest Ethiopia, 2023.

Acute kidney injury (AKI) is characterized by a sudden decline in the kidneys' abilities to remove waste products and maintain water and electrolyte homeostasis. This study aims to determine the incidence and predictors of acute kidney injury among neonates with perinatal asphyxia admitted at the neonatal intensive care unit of West Amhara Comprehensive Specialized Hospital, Northwest Ethiopia, 2023. Multicentred institution-based retrospective follow-up study was conducted from October 1, 2021, to September 30, 2023, among 421 perinatal asphyxia neonates.

Incidence and predictors of mortality among neonates admitted with perinatal asphyxia at west Oromia tertiary hospitals, Ethiopia, 2022.

Background: Perinatal asphyxia is one of the preventable and treatable causes of neonatal mortality. However, it is the fifth-largest cause of under-five mortality. Even with management advancements, it remains one of the key public health issues in underdeveloped countries, including Ethiopia.
