Results: Significant maternal factors were preterm labor &lt; 28 weeks, 28-32 weeks, fetal distress and premature rupture of membranes (AOR=.005, .018, 2.244, 5.481). Significant neonatal factors were Apgar score &lt; 7 at 1 minute, newborn temperature &lt;36.5°C, neonatal complications sepsis and persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn (AOR=82.614, 26.426, 7.253, 55.644).
