title: [Risk of morbidity in neonates in Prague 1980-1984].
abstract: An epidemiological analysis of 3427 hospitalized neonates at four Prague intensive care and intermediary care units in 1980-1984 revealed that of the total neonatal risk morbidity, 5.6%, the greatest ratio is accounted for by non-inflammatory respiratory diseases, 3.3%, followed by infections, 1.5%, and serious congenital defects, 0.7%. The incidence of the above groups is higher in Prague, as compared with Scandinavian countries. The lethality of inflammatory diseases and serious congenital defects is the same, in the group of non-inflammatory disease it is markedly higher in particular in the sub-group of pulmonary maladaptation--early asphyctic syndrome. The perspective of reduction of neonatal mortality calls in particular for a reduced incidence of risk morbidity and better care of critically ill neonates.
