				<abstract><![CDATA[IntroductionNeonatal mortality rate, has significantly declined in Iran over recent decades. The national neonatal mortality rate (NMR) has decreased from around 30 per 1,000 live births four decades ago to approximately 9 per 1,000 in recent years, with Iran aiming to reduce it to under 7 per 1,000 by 2025-2026. (1,2)The country has already achieved Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 3.2 targets for neonatal and under-5 mortality in most provinces, though regional disparities persist, particularly in areas like Sistan and Baluchestan and Azerbaijan. This short review outlines key contributing factors and evidence-based strategies to further reduce neonatal mortality, based on recent data up to 2026. (3,4)According to the World Health Organization report published on March 14, 2024; although neonatal deaths have decreased by 44% since 2000. However, in 2022, approximately 2.3 million neonatal deaths occurred, accounting for 47% of all deaths among children under 5 years old in the neonatal period, and approximately 6,500 neonatal deaths occur daily. Furthermore, progress has significantly slowed since 2010, and 64 countries will fail to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals target for neonatal mortality by 2030 unless urgent actions are taken.(1)Additionally, inequities in access to health services have resulted in children having different survival chances based on where they are born, with neonatal mortality rates in 2022 being about 27 deaths per 1,000 live births in Africa, and 21 in Central and Southern Asia. In other words, the risk of death in the first month of birth for a child born in the country with the highest mortality rate is about 60 times higher than in the country with the lowest mortality rate.(1)The lowest neonatal mortality rate in 2022 was about 0.7 deaths per 1,000 live births in Australia and New Zealand.(1)Main Factors Contributing to Neonatal MortalityLeading causes include preterm birth complications, respiratory distress syndrome (RDS), birth asphyxia, congenital anomalies, and infections such as lower respiratory infections and sepsis. Prematurity and RDS are major contributors, while regional variations show higher rates in low-sociodemographic index (SDI) provinces. Other risk factors encompass maternal conditions like hypertension, eclampsia/ preeclampsia, and lack of antenatal care.(2.5.6.7)Strategies to Reduce Neonatal MortalityA comprehensive approach integrating infrastructure, training, prevention, and policy is essential:Enhancing Healthcare InfrastructureExpanding Neonatal Intensive Care Units (NICUs) and modernizing equipment like ventilators and monitoring systems can significantly lower mortality. Simulations indicate a 20% increase in NICU capacity could reduce NMR by 7-35% in high-burden areas like Kerman and Bam. Upgrading surveillance systems for neonatal mortality, birth registries, and hospitalizations supports better detection and response.(8.9.10)Capacity Building and TrainingTargeted training for healthcare providers, focusing on the &quot;Golden Hours&quot; post-birth, addresses staff turnover and skill gaps in high-risk provinces like Sistan and Baluchestan. Training over 400 neonatal specialists and standardizing protocols have reduced ventilated newborn mortality from 43.6% to 24% and shortened hospital stays.(11) Preventive Measures and Prenatal CareReducing prematurity through preconception and antenatal care, including corticosteroids, genetic counseling, and surfactant administration, is critical. Promoting exclusive breastfeeding, vaccinations (e.g., rotavirus, pneumococcal), and maternal nutrition programs targets low birth weight and infections.(12) Policy and Social InterventionsEstablishing a single national leadership entity, allocating dedicated budgets, and decentralizing NICUs to minimize transfers are recommended. Programs like the Rural Family Physician Plan, Every Newborn Action Plan (ENAP), and focus on refugee-dense areas promote equity. Digital health interventions post-NICU discharge can improve outcomes and maternal competence.(13) ConclusionIran&#039;s progress toward SDG 3.2 is notable, with converging mortality trends linked to rising SDI. Achieving an NMR under 7 per 1,000 by 2026 requires focused efforts on provincial disparities, infrastructure investment, and multi-sectoral collaboration with entities like UNICEF and WHO. Ongoing policy analysis and root cause assessments will ensure sustained reductions]]></abstract>

				<abstract><![CDATA[Background: Neonatal jaundice is a common condition in low birth weight (LBW) infants (birth weight &lt;2500 g) that, if left untreated, may lead to severe complications such as kernicterus. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of the probiotic Pedilact as an adjunctive therapy to phototherapy in reducing serum bilirubin levels and the duration of phototherapy in preterm LBW infants with jaundice.Methods: In this double-blind randomized clinical trial, 72 preterm LBW infants admitted to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) of Imam Reza Hospital, Mashhad, with clinical jaundice were randomly assigned into two equal groups. The intervention group (n=36) received 5 drops (approximately 0.25 mL) of Pedilact daily for three consecutive days alongside standard phototherapy, while the control group (n=36) received 5 drops of distilled water as placebo. Serum bilirubin levels were measured at 24, 48, and 72 hours post-treatment initiation.Results: The percentage of infants with bilirubin &lt;10 mg/dL in the probiotic group at 24, 48, and 72 hours was 44.4%, 69.4%, and 75%, respectively, compared to 25%, 22.2%, and 16.7% in the control group. Mean bilirubin levels were also significantly lower in the probiotic group at all time points (P&lt;0.001 for all comparisons). The duration of phototherapy was significantly shorter in the probiotic group (3.87 ± 0.50 days) compared to the control group (4.32 ± 1.10 days; P=0.049).Conclusion: Pedilact probiotic supplementation as an adjunct to phototherapy significantly accelerates bilirubin reduction in preterm LBW infants with neonatal jaundice, potentially reducing phototherapy duration and hospital stay. These findings support the use of probiotics as a safe and effective complementary treatment in managing neonatal hyperbilirubinemia.]]></abstract>

				<abstract><![CDATA[Background: This study compared the efficacy of phenobarbital and levetiracetam in the treatment of neonatal seizures, with emphasis on seizure control, electroencephalographic (EEG) normalization, and neurodevelopmental outcomes.
Methods: A retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) in Medan, Indonesia, between January 2022 and February 2025. Neonates aged 0–28 days with clinically or EEG-confirmed seizures were included. Patients received phenobarbital, levetiracetam, or combination therapy. Outcomes assessed were seizure control within 24 hours, EEG normalization during follow-up, and neurodevelopmental status. Normality of continuous data was assessed using the Shapiro–Wilk test; appropriate parametric or non-parametric tests were applied.
Results: Fifty-nine neonates met the inclusion criteria: levetiracetam monotherapy (n=36), phenobarbital monotherapy (n=7), and combination therapy (n=16). Seizure cessation within 24 hours was achieved in 94.6% overall and 100% in the levetiracetam group. EEG normalization occurred in 58.3% of the levetiracetam group, 42.9% of the phenobarbital group, and 43.8% of the combination group (p=0.537). At follow-up, all neonates in the levetiracetam group demonstrated normal neurodevelopment, compared with 88.9% in the phenobarbital group and 87.5% in the combination group. Early initiation of therapy (&lt;6 hours from seizure onset) was significantly associated with improved seizure control (p=0.008).
Conclusion: Levetiracetam was as effective as phenobarbital in seizure control and EEG normalization, with a trend toward superior neurodevelopmental outcomes. These findings, derived from a Southeast Asian NICU setting, support levetiracetam as a safe and effective first-line agent for neonatal seizures. Early initiation of therapy and structured EEG monitoring further improve prognostication and outcomes.]]></abstract>

				<abstract><![CDATA[Background: Neonatal resuscitation certification is essential for every neonatal doctor and nurse. During circumstances such as the COVID-19 era, when face-to-face resuscitation training is not possible, this study was designed to produce a multimedia program for newborn resuscitation in Iran and to determine its effect on self-learning of newborn resuscitation.
Methods: In this quasi-experimental study, instead of conducting a resuscitation workshop with learners present, a multimedia program for neonatal resuscitation — including a handbook, videos, and PowerPoint lectures — was first produced by professors and instructors in the skill lab. It was then delivered to the learners. Eight weeks later, they underwent a theoretical (knowledge) exam, and eight weeks after that, a practical skills exam (Megacode) was performed on a mannequin. The knowledge and skill scores obtained in the non-attendance group were compared with those from previous attendance workshops. SPSS version 18 was used for statistical analysis, and a p-value ≤ 0.05 was considered statistically significant.
Results: A total of 40 students (20 in each group) participated in this study. The mean theoretical resuscitation exam score was 18.95 ± 0.88 in the non-attendance group and 17.90 ± 1.18 in the attendance group (p = 0.003). The mean Megacode exam score was 18.67 ± 0.79 in the non-attendance group and 17.92 ± 0.71 in the attendance group (p = 0.003).
Conclusion: This study showed that watching the multimedia program on newborn resuscitation followed by practice in the skill lab can be as effective in increasing learners’ knowledge and skills as attending traditional resuscitation workshops.]]></abstract>

				<abstract><![CDATA[Background: Parenteral nutrition-associated cholestasis (PNAC) is one of the most challenging complications of prolonged parenteral nutrition (PN). Limited data are available regarding the association between enteral nutrition (EN) and PNAC. We aimed to explore the correlation of EN strategies with PNAC in preterm infants with birth weight less than 1500 g.
Methods: A nested case-control study (1:1) was performed including infants with gestational age (GA) &lt; 37 weeks, birth weight (BW) &lt; 1500 g, and duration of PN &gt; 7 days. GA, BW, and duration of PN were used as matching criteria. EN strategies before the onset of PNAC were described. Conditional logistic regression was used to identify the independent association of EN strategies with PNAC.
Results: A total of 66 subjects were studied. Univariate analysis revealed that incremental feeding rate, average feeding amounts, average caloric intake via the enteral route, episodes of EN interruption, and days to start EN were similar before the onset of PNAC between groups. Feeding amounts and caloric intake via the enteral route were also similar at the onset of PNAC between groups. On logistic regression, incremental feeding rate was negatively associated with PNAC (OR: 0.479, 95% CI: 0.272-0.844, p=0.011).

				<abstract><![CDATA[Background: Neonatal bleeding disorders can be quite challenging in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) and are often linked to primary or secondary haemostatic defects. In Egypt, the high prevalence of rare inherited bleeding disorders (RIBDs) is attributed to consanguinity and close community marriages. We aimed to evaluate the bleeding phenotype of a neonatal cross-section and to assess the usefulness of the International Society for Thrombosis and Haemostasis bleeding assessment tool (ISTH-BAT) in identifying neonates with potential RIBDs.Methods: A cross-sectional research was conducted over one year, including all neonates (n = 61) with any bleeding symptom/s admitted to Cairo University Hospital NICU. Clinical evaluations, laboratory testing (CBC, PT, aPTT, INR, TT, fibrinogen, factor VII), and ISTH-BAT scoring were performed.Results: Upper gastrointestinal tract (36.1%) and pulmonary (19.7%) hemorrhages were the most common bleeding sites. Our study was separated into 2 groups: healthy (n = 10) and unhealthy (n = 51). An abnormal ISTH-BAT score (≥ 3) was found in 42.6% and was significantly higher among septic neonates (p-value = 0.013). Among the healthy group, 7 had vitamin K deficiency bleeding (VKDB) and 3 had afibrinogenemia, the latter showing the highest ISTH-BAT scores (7–8).Conclusion: VKDB and sepsis were the commonest causes of bleeding in healthy and unhealthy neonates, respectively. Bleeding due to afibrinogenemia represented 4.9% and 30% of the whole cross-sectional study and healthy neonates, respectively. The ISTH-BAT can be a useful screening tool for assessing significant bleeding in neonates, particularly identifying those with RIBDs.]]></abstract>

				<abstract><![CDATA[Background: This study was designed to compare blood glucose levels and weight gain in premature infants fed using cue-based feeding versus traditional volume-based feeding. Cue-based feeding relies on infants&#039; behavioral cues, but concerns about hypoglycemia and the infant&#039;s inability to wake for feeding present challenges to its implementation.
Methods: This was a single-blind, randomized controlled clinical trial (IRCT: IRCT20240919063098N1) of 122 preterm infants allocated 1:1 to cue-based or volume-based feeding; caregivers could not be blinded, while assessors remained blinded. The primary outcome was weight trajectory (Day 1–3, Week 1, discharge). Secondary outcomes included preprandial glucose levels, caregiver-initiated wake-ups, feeding adverse events, length of stay, and postmenstrual age at discharge. Analysis was by intention-to-treat using mixed-effects models adjusted for admission weight and baseline feeding method.
Results: All 122 infants were analyzed. Cue-based feeding increased early weight gain: Day 1 +248 g (95% CI 120–376; P = 0.009), Day 2 +240 g (95% CI 96–384; P = 0.015); later differences were not significant. Glucose remained &gt;60 mg/dL with no between-group effects or episodes of hypoglycemia. Wake-ups were significantly higher in the cue-based group (IRR 2.05, 95% CI 1.65–2.55; P &lt; 0.001). Adverse events were infrequent and similar between groups. Length of stay did not differ significantly between groups (12 vs. 13 days, P = 0.217); postmenstrual age at discharge was comparable.
Conclusion: Cue-based feeding was associated with greater weight gain in the initial two days without compromising blood glucose levels. Further multicenter studies with larger sample sizes are recommended to validate these findings.]]></abstract>

				<abstract><![CDATA[Background: Maternal hypotension resulting from spinal anesthesia and the interval between anesthetic administration and delivery are considered potential modifiable risk factors contributing to the development of transient tachypnea of the newborn (TTN) and fetal acidosis. To investigate the precise impact of maternal hypotension triggered by spinal anesthesia and the duration of anesthesia-to-delivery intervals on neonatal outcomes, primarily the incidence of TTN and fetal acid-base imbalance among women undergoing planned cesarean section (CS) deliveries.
Methods: A pre-planned prospective cohort study was conducted over a one-year period at a tertiary care center, enrolling all women with non-anomalous singleton pregnancies between 37 and 41 weeks of gestation who delivered via elective CS under spinal anesthesia. The main outcome variables were the incidence of neonatal respiratory morbidity, specifically TTN, and fetal acidosis, evaluated in relation to maternal intraoperative hypotension and the interval from induction of anesthesia to delivery. Intraoperative maternal blood pressure profiles were systematically compared between neonates with TTN and those without.
Results: A total of 115 maternal-infant dyads were included in the final analytical cohort. Neonates who developed TTN were delivered by mothers who experienced more profound intraoperative hypotension, as evidenced by significantly lower minimum systolic blood pressure (SBP) (P = 0.006), diastolic blood pressure (DBP) (P = 0.01), and mean arterial pressure (MAP) (P = 0.003). Notably, maternal baseline MAP demonstrated a considerable inverse correlation with umbilical cord pH (r = -0.473, P &lt; 0.001), whereas minimum MAP correlated positively (r = 0.324, P &lt; 0.001). Multivariable analyses identified both the severity and duration of maternal hypotension as significant independent predictors of TTN and fetal acidosis.
Conclusion: Implementing preventive measures against maternal spinal hypotension is a prudent strategy to minimize the likelihood of neonatal acidosis and reduce the risk of TTN in scheduled cesarean deliveries.]]></abstract>

				<abstract><![CDATA[Background: Tay-Sachs disease (TSD) is a rare autosomal recessive lysosomal storage disorder caused by mutations in the HEXA gene that encodes the alpha subunit of the lysosomal enzyme β-hexosaminidase A (Hex A).
Case Report: The case presented is of a 19-week pregnant 30-year-old female with a bad obstetric history. Her two previous female children expired at 11 months and 5 years of age, respectively, with suspected metabolic or neurodegenerative disorders. The third female child presented at 4 years of age with a history of seizures and global developmental delay and had facial dysmorphism and macrocephaly. Considering the past obstetric history and history of consanguinity, whole-exome sequencing (WES) of both parents and Sanger sequencing of the fetus were carried out.
Conclusion: Whole-exome sequencing of the parents and prenatal genetic testing revealed one pathogenic mutation, NM_000520.6(HEXA):c.1274_1277dup (p.Tyr427fs), in the HEXA gene in this family. The parents were heterozygous, while the fetus was homozygous for this mutation, which manifests as Tay-Sachs disease.]]></abstract>
