Determinants of Early Neonatal Mortality in Indonesia
This study aimed to analyze the factors that contributed to early neonatal mortality in Indonesia using the raw data from the 2017 Indonesian Demographic Health Survey. The analytical method used was the Rare Event Logistic Regression Model. The results showed that infants who were more likely to die at early neonatal or seven days of life were born to working mothers, mothers with aged <20 years old and > 35 years old, infants born with low birth weight (<2500 grams), male infants, and parturition who were not health officers. About 65.3% of early neonatal deaths were born to working women, 40% were born to women <20 years and > 35 years of age, 44% were low birth weight, 69.3% were male and 56% were born by pregnant women whose parturition are not assisted by health officers.
