This study estimated neonatal and perinatal mortality rates (NMR, PMR), causes of death, and risk factors in nine villages in Loreto Province, Peru. Using five-year pregnancy histories and WHO verbal autopsy, NMR was 31.4/1000 live births and PMR 49.7/1000 pregnancies—among the highest reported in Peru. Infection and asphyxia were leading causes of neonatal death. Risk factors included twin gestation, preterm delivery, and cesarean section. Findings underscore the need for targeted interventions and improved maternal-child health strategies in rural Peruvian communities. 000000696 540__ $$fCC BY 000000696 542__ $$fIn copyright - single owner 000000696 650__ $$aInfant$$020774 000000696 650__ $$aPerinatal Mortality$$037727 000000696 650__ $$aDeveloping Countries$$017657 000000696 650__ $$aCause of Death$$016248 000000696 650__ $$aMortality$$022435 000000696 650__ $$aInfant Mortality$$020777 000000696 650__ $$aInfant, Newborn$$020782 000000696 650__ $$aCesarean Section$$016405 000000696 650__ $$aPremature Birth$$036011 000000696 651__ $$aPeru$$041104 000000696 691__ $$aSchool of Medicine$$041369 000000696 692__ $$aDepartment of Public Health and Preventive Medicine$$041444 000000696 7001_ $$aWarren, Jamie$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354 000000696 7201_ $$aLambert, William$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354$$7Personal$$eAdvisor 000000696 7201_ $$aFu, Rochelle$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354$$7Personal$$eAdvisor 000000696 7201_ $$aAnderson, JoDee$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354$$7Personal$$eAdvisor 000000696 8564_ $$923c683be-fe14-4ead-8294-42c0dc480f19$$s1406513$$uhttps://digitalcollections.ohsu.edu/record/696/files/697_etd.pdf$$ePublic$$2af94c9bbbdc638f798b871eff9dd121a$$31 000000696 905__ $$a/rest/prod/ww/72/bb/54/ww72bb54s 000000696 909CO $$ooai:digitalcollections.ohsu.edu:696$$pstudent-work 000000696 956__ $$aGet Accessible Copy$$uhttps://ohsu.libwizard.com/f/requestaccessibledocument 000000696 980__ $$aTheses and Dissertations
