Abstract
This comparative epidemiologic study looks at the effect of the Syrian war on neonatal morbidity and medical care in the Akkar region of North Lebanon in 2013, comparing data of the Lebanese neonatal population as gathered by the National Collaborative Perinatal Neonatal Network before 2013 with that of the Syrian refugees in the year 2013. The study was conducted from Jan. 1 through Dec. 31, 2013, at Hopital Notre Dame de la Paix, Kobayat, a major referral center for Syrian refugees. It revealed that Syrian refugee mothers were younger, less educated, and had higher rates of preterm births and infants with congenital malformations compared with Lebanese mothers both in Akkar and on a national scale.
