%X Introduction: Neonatal pathology remains a real public health problem in
developing countries. In Burkina Faso, this mortality has declined over the
last ten years but remains below compared to the Sustainable Development Goals,
which is 12 per 1000 living births at most by 2030. This study aims to identify
specific causes of neonatal morbidity and mortality and will contribute to the
implementation of preventive and curative measures aimed at reducing neonatal
mortality at HOSCO. Method: This was a retrospective study using the records
and database of newborns hospitalized from January 1</span><sup><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">srt</span></sup><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">, 201</span><span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">7 to December 31</span><sup><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">srt</span></sup><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">, 2020. Using
logistic regression, the factors </span></span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">associated with mortality were determined.
Results: During the study period, 3020 ne</span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">wborns
were hospitalized. Most newborns (83.71%) were referred by a peripheral health
facility. The average age at admission was 0.3 days ˇŔ 0.9 and the sex ratio was
1.2. Prematurity was the leading cause of hospitalizati</span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">o</span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">n (61.13%) followed by neonatal infection (38.34%)
and neonatal suffering (23.88%). The mortality rate was 40.6% with 82.71% cases
of death in t</span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">he early neonatal period. The main causes of death were low
birth weight </span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">(47.39%), respiratory distress
(18.76%), neonatal suffering (17.37%) and ne</span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">onatal infection (13.87%).
