Introduction: Most neonatal deaths in industrialized countries follow a process of redirection of care. The objectives of this study were to describe how neonates die in a middle-income country, whether there was redirection of care, and the reason for this decision.
Methods: This was a prospective, multicenter, cross-sectional study.
Objective: To evaluate COVID-19 pandemic preparedness, available resources, and guidelines for neonatal care delivery among neonatal health care providers in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) across all continents.
Study Design: Cross-sectional, web-based survey administered between May and June, 2020.
Results: Of 189 invited participants in 69 LMICs, we received 145 (77%) responses from 58 (84%) countries.
