Time to recovery and predictors among admitted preterm neonates in the neonatal intensive care units of public hospitals of Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, 2021.

The recovery rate was found relatively low. Several predictors of preterm recovery time were discovered in the study. The majority of predictors were preventable or treatable. Therefore, emphasis should be given towards prevention and early anticipation, and management of these predictors. Studies to assess the quality of care and cause of low survival rate of preterm infants are recommended.
