Background: The goal of this study, which was done in a newborn intensive care unit of a tertiary care hospital in Larkana, was to determine the prevalence of respiratory distress in neonates, as well as the morbidity and mortality associated with it.
A retrospective investigation of infants with respiratory distress syndrome during a one-year period was carried out. On the basis of newborn and maternal characteristics, the prevalence and risk factors associated with respiratory distress syndrome were compared.
Transient Tachypnea of the Newborn (TTN) accounted for 29.8% of respiratory distress in our sample, followed by RDS (22.1%), birth asphyxia (17%), and Meconium Aspiration Syndrome (MAS) (15.7%). The overall result of Neonatal Respiratory Distress was a 65.4 percent cure rate, a 26.84 percent neonatal mortality rate with the greatest fatality related to RDS and Sepsis, and a 7.7 percent morbidity rate. The TTN was shown to be the most prevalent cause of respiratory distress in newborns. The infants with respiratory distress syndrome had the greatest mortality rate of 26.84 percent.
