neonatal outcomes

Neonatal outcomes refer to the health and development of a baby immediately after birth and during the first few weeks or months. These outcomes include factors like birth weight, whether the baby is born premature, and how well the baby adapts to life outside the womb. Good neonatal outcomes mean the baby is healthy, growing appropriately, and free from serious health issues. Poor outcomes may involve complications such as low birth weight, respiratory problems, or infections, which might require medical care to support the baby's growth and development. These outcomes help assess the quality of maternal and newborn care.
