Patterns of preterm admission, morbidity, and mortality in a tribal-district neonatal intensive care unit: A retrospective cohort study

Figure 1 Gestational age distribution of preterm neonates admitted to the tribal-district neonatal intensive care unit between 2022 and 2024. Illustrates the year-wise distribution of preterm neonates categorized by gestational age at admission. Late preterm infants (34-36⁺⁶ weeks) constituted the largest subgroup (835/1438; 58.1%), followed by moderate preterm (32-33⁺⁶ weeks; 324; 22.5%) and very preterm (28-31⁺⁶ weeks; 210; 14.6%) neonates. Extremely preterm infants (< 28 weeks) accounted for 69 admissions (4.8%). The distribution pattern remained stable across the three-year study period.
