Abstract

Objectives: This study aimed to describe the characteristics of neonatal diseases treated at Gia Lam General Hospital from January 2020 to December 2022. Method: A cross-sectional study was conducted on 462 neonates. The results showed that 93.07% of neonates were full-term and 81.17% were born at Gia Lam General Hospital. The most common neonatal disease was jaundice (87.01%), followed by respiratory distress syndrome (6.28%), neonatal sepsis (3.03%), neonatal hypoglycemia (1.73%), and other rare neonatal diseases (1.95%). 9.96% of neonates were admitted to the hospital in an emergency, and 89.13% of these cases occurred on the first day after birth. The most common cause of emergency admission was respiratory distress syndrome (56.52%). The rate of emergency admission in preterm infants was 3.44 times higher than in full-term infants (p=0.009). Conclusion: The characteristics of the neonatal disease groups are similar to the research results of the authors at other primary care hospitals (grade II, III) when the group of neonatal jaundice accounts for the highest proportion. There is a need for human resources and equipment preparation in order to diagnose and treat neonatal jaundice effectively.
