BLASCO NAVARRO, Marilin; CRUZ COBAS, Margarita; COGLE DUVERGEL, Yuleiska  and  NAVARRO TORDERA, Marisel. Main risk factors of neonates morbidity and mortality. MEDISAN [online]. 2018, vol.22, n.7, pp. 578-599. ISSN 1029-3019.

The available literature either national or foreign about the neonate morbidity and mortality was reviewed and it was decided to make reference to important aspects related with the topic, among which there were figured, besides a historical review: classification and register of the death causes (distress syndrome, hyaline membrane disease, infections, bronchopulmonary dysplasia and congenital malformations), delivery type (complications and prematurity), as well as low birth weight. Of the obtained information it was inferred that the neonates birth with ponderal inadequacy for the gestational age, still constitutes a severe health situation in today's world, mainly in the third world countries, where enough resources are nor disposable to offer an appropriate health care to the population.

Keywords : neonate; neonate morbidity; risk factors; delivery type; birth weight; death causes; neonate mortality.
