It was a descriptive retrospective record based study from April 2015 to March 2016 for a period of 1 year with 2270 neonates admitted during the study period. The data on inborn or outborn admission, sex, gestational age, weight for gestation, indications for admission, duration of hospitalization, complications encountered, procedures done during hospitalization and outcome was extracted and analysed. The total neonates were 2270.Low birth weight was seen in 1562 babies (68.8%). Almost every second baby admitted in SNCU was a pre-term baby 1086(47.8%). The commonest morbid reason for admission was others 1335(58.8%) followed by asphyxia 317(13.9%), neonatal jaundice (n=171; 7.5%), meconium aspiration syndrome (n=140; 6.1%), sepsis 108(4.7%),major congenital anomalies 95(4.1%) and respiratory distress syndrome (n=87; 3.8%) . It was found that maximum (n=1737,76.5%) number of babies were discharged after improvement, 224 (9.8%) left against medical advice, only 39(1.7%) babies were referred to higher centre and there were 270 (11.8%) mortalities. Commonest cause for mortality was birth asphyxia 96(35.5%) followed by respiratory distress syndrome 68(25.5%) and sepsis 48(17.7%)
