Neonatal outcome of 178 low birth weight (LBW) babies in this study was associated with 26.4% neonatal mortality. A significantly higher mortality rate was noted in presence of adverse maternal factors, birth weight less than 1.5 kg, prematurity and respiratory distress at birth. Premature rupture of membranes and leaking (greater than 12 h) were recorded in 75 cases. Significant association was observed for septicemia. Maternal postpartum weight less than 40 kg was associated with higher incidence of neonatal infections than when mother's weight was greater than 45 kg.
