Abstract:

Objective: To analyze the factors associated with neonatal near miss (NMN) in public and private hospitals in the Southeast region of Brazil. Methods: A prospective cohort study with 7,552 live births from singleton pregnancies from the "Born in Brazil II" study (2021–2023). NMN was defined according to the criteria of Pileggi-Castro et al. (2014), and the independent variables were organized in a hierarchical model: distal level (sociodemographic characteristics), intermediate level (maternal conditions and prenatal care), and proximal level (obstetric complications, type of delivery, and sex of the newborn). Associations were estimated using logistic regression. Results: Neonatal mortality (NMN) occurred in 12.5% of live births. After adjustment, the following were associated with the outcome: urban residence (OR=1.75), absence of a partner (OR=1.36), hypertensive syndromes of pregnancy, pre-gestational diabetes (OR=2.76), syphilis (OR=5.44), less than 50% of prenatal visits (OR=2.14), alcoholism (OR=1.50), severe maternal morbidity (OR=1.96), forceps/vacuum delivery (OR=2.39), and male sex (OR=1.23). Conclusion: NMN was associated with clinical, sociodemographic, and care determinants, highlighting persistent inequalities in prenatal and intrapartum care and the need to strengthen integrated maternal and neonatal care policies.
