Neonatal mortality and its predictors among neonates in Jabitehnan district, Northwest Ethiopia: A single-arm retrospective cohort study.

Neonatal mortality was high compared to the national target. Wealth, number of pregnancies, sex of the neonate, and breastfeeding initiation were factors associated with neonatal death. Hence, strengthening interventions such as providing sexual education in the population, considering households with a medium wealth index in the exemption service, and counseling mothers about early breastfeeding initiation would improve neonatal survival.
