Neonatal mortality rate at Al-Elwaya maternity hospital in Baghdad city: Retrospective study.

Objective This study was conducted to assess the neonatal mortality rate in Baghdad city during the last 10 years (2008-2017). Methods This study was conducted at Al-Elwaya maternity hospital in Baghdad city: The retrospective study last 10 years ago (2008-2017) regarding neonatal mortality rate. This study was started in October 2017 to February 2018. The data regarding neonatal mortality rate was achieved from the data recorded in the Statistical Department in the hospital. Results The result shows meaningful S-shaped auto-regression model tested in two-tailed alternative statistical hypothesis for two factors, time sequence per (years) factor as (Independent), and number of dead birth factor as (Dependent). Slope value was estimated and indicated that increasing with inverse transformation of one lagged period factor (1 year), occurring with a positive increment on natural logarithm transformation of the unit of dead birth number, and that estimated by (-0.95284), and the increment was recorded as highly significant and positive effectiveness at P < 0.01, as well as strong and highly significant correlation ship at P < 0.01 between studied factors and accounted (0.69863), with meaning determination coefficient of R-square (48.808%), which explanation disturbances among the numbers of dead birth along with the studied periods.
