- The study aimed to examine the demographic, maternal, and perinatal factors linked to hospitalizations of moderately to late preterm and term neonates within 72 hours of birth in Malawi's Dedza and Mangochi districts.
- Various factors were analyzed using a case-control method, comparing sick neonates admitted to intensive care with healthy ones, with data collected through case files and caregiver interviews.
