Sažetak
Early neonatal mortality (ENM) is one of components of perinatal mortality. In recent years ENM is smaller than fetal mortality. ENM was in 2003 in Croatia 76% for newborns of birth-weight (BW) 500–749 g; 53% for those 750–999 g, 19% for those 1000–1249 g, and 4 % for newborns of BW 1250–1499 g. Neonatal mortality for newborns in these birth-weight groups was 81%, 70%, 25% and 5% respectively. Late neonatal mortality (LNM) is maximal 12.3% for newborns of BW 500–999 g, and 9.1% for newborns of BW 1000–1499 g. ENM was not underestimated instead of possible higher LNM, pediatric-neonatal services didn’t reduce ENM on expenses of LNM. In close future is necessary to follow survival or mortality of all newborns up to discharge from hospital. These data will give us benchmark for planning of neonatal resources, development of recommendations in perinatology-neonatology for prenatal and postnatal transfer, and for more exact prognoses to parents of the smallest newborns.
