Abstract
The objective of this work: is to draw the existing association between the social conditions of households and the severity of perinatal asphyxia. Materials and Methods: this is a retrospective study lasting 24 months. It was conducted at the National Reference Center for Neonatology and Nutrition at the Children's Hospital of University Hospital Center of Rabat. It includes all newborns admitted with a diagnosis of neonatal pain regardless of their origin. Results: 568 asphyxial neonates were collected from 7265 hospitalizations during the 2015-2016 period. With a response rate of 84.51%, this study demonstrated the existence of association between the severity of perinatal asphyxia and the origin of households (P = 0.003); maternal education level (P = 0.002); household type of housing (P = 0.005); the household situation in the housing (P = 0.005); and the connection of the housing to a drinking water distribution network (P = 0.005). Conclusion: This study demonstrated the existence of a relationship between social conditions of households, having a newborn asphyxia, and the severity of the recorded perinatal asphyxia, so it is important to consider these conditions during prenatal consultations to help reduce the rate of neonatal asphyxia.
