    [abstract] => Background: The admission of infants to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) is often necessitated by various perinatal and neonatal risk factors that can impact the health and well-being of newborns. In this context, a comprehensive understanding of perinatal and neonatal risk factors for NICU admission is essential for healthcare providers to identify at-risk infants, implement appropriate interventions, and collaborate effectively with multidisciplinary teams to deliver individualized care.
Aim and objective: The aim of this study was to comprehensively identify and analyze perinatal and neonatal risk factors contributing to the admission of newborns to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU).
Methodology: Information of NICU admitted infants was gathered from multiple paediatric hospitals located in different Surat zones, especially those that had Neonatal Intensive Care Units (NICUs). After selection, the Perinatal and Neonatal risk factors were evaluated for the infants in accordance with the evaluation form
Result: Descriptive analysis of the current study identified Perinatal risk factors ratio includes Caesarean section (69.36%),Vacuum delivery (2.11%), Infants with LBW(37%) VLBW(20.1%), twins (18.3%), cord around the neck (2.8%),Premature birth <37 weeks 34.2%) delay birth cry (23.2%)Birth Asphyxia(20.1%),Meconium aspiration(4.6%)Fetoplacental Infection(0.7%)small for gestational age (5.6%)
NeonatalRiskFactors:Hyperbillirubinemia(19.7%),Neonatal seizure(10.6%),Low apgar score(2.5%)Neonatal
 hypoglycemia(2.1%),Periventricular leukomalacia(0.4%) Respiratory Distress Syndrome(18.7%), Neonatal sepsis(1.1%)
Conclusion: This study provides a foundation for evidence-based decision-making in Perinatal and Neonatal healthcare. By understanding the multifaceted determinants of NICU admissions, we can work towards developing holistic strategies that enhance the overall health outcomes for the newborns.
