OBJECTIVE: To determine the primary causes of death in home-cared rural neonates by using prospectively kept health records of neonates and a neonatologist's clinical judgment.
STUDY DESIGN: In the first year (1995 to 1996) of the field trial in Gadchiroli, India, trained village health workers observed neonates in 39 villages by attending home deliveries and making eight home visits during days 0 to 28. The recorded data were validated in the field by a physician. An independent neonatologist assigned the most probable single primary cause of death based on these recorded data.
FINDINGS: A total of 763 neonates were observed, of whom 40 died (NMR 52.4/1000). The primary causes of death were sepsis/pneumonia 21 (52.5%), asphyxia 8 (20%), prematurity <32 weeks 6 (15%), hypothermia 1 (2.5%), and other/not known 4 (10%). Most of the prematurity or asphyxia deaths occurred during the first 3 days of life. All 21 sepsis/pneumonia deaths occurred during days 4 to 28. A similar picture existed in England before the antibiotic era.
CONCLUSION: Sepsis/pneumonia is the primary cause in half the deaths in rural neonates cared for at home in Gadchiroli, followed by asphyxia and prematurity. Infections cause a larger proportion of deaths in neonates in the community compared to the reported proportion in hospital-based studies.
