Neonatal mortality in Jordan: secondary analysis of Jordan Population and Family Health Survey (JPFHS) data

Abstract

The NNR rate for 2005-2009 period of 16 deaths per 1000 live births indicates that there are opportunities to decrease it. Risk factors of neonatal mortality with respect to predictors of death during first days of life and variables related to geographic variations require particular focus to improve the quality of obstetric and neonatal health services and to decrease neonatal mortality.
