Sample size: 40 neonates fulfilling the inclusion criteria were recruited over a period of one year. Results: The male female ratio was 1.4:1. There were 29 (72.5%) term and 11 (27.5%) preterm in the study population. Majority of them 25(60%) had birth weight of <2.5 kg while 15 (40%) had a birth weight of ≥ 2.5 kg.Among 14 neonates who died 12(85.7%) neonates had and 2 (14.3%) did not have respiratory distress.
