Prevalence, risk factors and outcomes of neonatal hypothermia at admission at a tertiary neonatal unit, Kigali, Rwanda - a cross-sectional study

Thermoregulation remains a key physiological challenge faced by a neonate after delivery. We assessed the prevalence, risk factors and outcomes of hypothermia in admitted neonates at a tertiary teaching hospital of Kigali city in Rwanda. A cross-sectional study was conducted, from July 2013 to Septe...

description Thermoregulation remains a key physiological challenge faced by a neonate after delivery. We assessed the prevalence, risk factors and outcomes of hypothermia in admitted neonates at a tertiary teaching hospital of Kigali city in Rwanda. A cross-sectional study was conducted, from July 2013 to September 2017, of neonates who were admitted in the neonatology unit of the University Teaching Hospital of Kigali (CHUK) and whose admission temperature were recorded. Data were extracted from the neonatal database (registry). The neonatal database contained 1021 eligible neonates of which 15% were outborn. Hypothermia was found at admission in 280 of the 1021 eligible neonates (27%). The extremely preterm (
