|
A statistical study on the icidence and mortality rate of low birth weight infant (LBW) was done on 11,406 newborns delivered at Wonkwang University Hospital during 9 years from Jan. 1,983 to Dec. 1,991.
The results were as follows,
1) The incidence of LBW was 10.2%.
2) The incidence of LBW was higher than that of other hospital delivery (p<0.005).
3) Mortality rate of LBW was 10.2%, and annual mortality rate was progressively improved after late 1,980's. But, statistical significance was not observed.
4) Mortality rate of LBW after setting of the neonatal intensive care unit was lower than before. But, statistical significance was not observed. |
