Several factors can contribute to neonatal morbidity, including:
Preterm birth: Infants born before 37 weeks of gestation are at higher risk for numerous complications. Low birth weight: Infants weighing less than 2,500 grams have greater vulnerability to health issues. Infections: Neonatal sepsis, pneumonia, and meningitis can lead to significant morbidity and mortality. Congenital anomalies: Structural or functional anomalies present at birth can impact neonatal health. Perinatal asphyxia: Oxygen deprivation during birth can result in long-term neurological deficits.
