An attempt has been made to investigate determinants of neonatal outcomes among postnatal women.MethodsUsing a case-contrrol study design, 165 women were selected from 3 health facilities, where they had had antenatal care (ANC), labour, delivery and post natal care.ResultsChi- square test revealed that gestational age (p-value, 0.01), HIV status (p-value, 0.000) and malaria (p-value, 0.001<0.05) were significantly associated with adverse neonatal outcomes.ConclusionThe study concluded that implementation of community-based intervention is needed to ensure survival of newborns.© 2019 Gwelo et al.
