Abstract

Objectives: This study aimed to describe the characteristics of common neonatal diseases treated at the Hospital of Post and Telecommunications during 2023-2024. Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive was conducted from August 2023 to July 2024 on 392 neonates treated at the Hospital of Post and Telecommunications. Results: Of the neonates, 83.7% were full-term. The most common conditions were neonatal sepsis (31.1%), followed by neonatal respiratory distress syndrome (23.2%) and neonatal jaundice (15.1%). Additionally, 76.3% of the neonates were admitted to the hospital on the first day after birth. Infants who required resuccitation at birth were 4,57 times more likely to be referred to a higher-level facility than those who did not require resuscitaion (p=0,01). Conclusion: The characteristics of neonatal disease groups at the Hospital of Post and Telecommunications are consistents with findings from other grade I hospitals, with neonatal sepsis being the most prevalent condition. There is a need for adequate human resources and equipement to ensure early diagnosis and effective treatment of neonatal sepsis.
