Abstract
Influence of high-risk factors on early neurodevelopmental outcome of high-risk newborns and role of follow up compliance
Highlights
Advances in Perinatal care and the establishment of improved neonatal services have increased the survival rates of many high-risk newborns in developing countries
This was a prospective observational follow-up study conducted at Shyam Shah Medical College and associated Gandhi memorial hospital Rewa, Madhya Pradesh, India. on High-risk Newborns discharged from NICU at NFC (Newborn Follow-up Clinic) over the 1-year period
Close coordination with ASHA and AWW may improve neonatal follow up in low resource settings, and they can be trained in home-based early stimulation therapy, which is simple and easy to administer will improve neurodevelopmental outcomes in these infants
Summary
Advances in Perinatal care and the establishment of improved neonatal services have increased the survival rates of many high-risk newborns in developing countries. As per NFHS 4 infant mortality is 41/1000 live birth and more so higher in rural areas 46 in comparison to urban areas 29 per 1000 live birth. A larger proportion of infants who survive have a higher risk of abnormal development in comparison to normal newborn [2]. Parents of the developmentally delayed child have a poor quality of life, mental burnout, and poor mental health in comparison to others. It has a detrimental effect on other siblings in the family and the overall growth of a Nation [3,4]
